02 About

Computer Scientist & SAP Consultant.

I sit at the intersection of academic research and enterprise software. Currently consulting on SAP ABAP / Fiori and building scalable architectures, while keeping research on minimum cut problems and software metrics as an active parallel track.

I graduated as a Computer Engineer (MSc) and kept one foot in academia. My MSc research focused on computer vision, specifically comparing deep learning models for fighter jet detection. Today, my PhD research revolves around graph algorithms (minimum cut problems) and applying machine learning to software engineering and data analysis.

My professional journey is rooted in enterprise systems. Starting with ABAP, I briefly expanded my architectural perspective through Java development before returning to my core strength in the SAP ecosystem. With 5 years of enterprise experience, I now design clean, maintainable ABAP and Fiori solutions for large-scale S/4HANA implementations. Additionally, I stay connected to my mainframe roots by engaging with the IBM Z community as a hobbyist.

I hold certifications as a SAP BTP Solution Architect and LeanIX Enterprise Architect. I'm genuinely happy to call myself a Computer Science Researcher — the label describes how I approach every problem: read the papers, measure, iterate.

Not everything fits in a terminal.

Two quiet hobbies that balance out all the enterprise software.
/ 01

Fishing

Weekends along the Aegean coast — istavrit, karagöz, çipura depending on the season. The only time I willingly close my laptop before sunrise.

/ 02

Die-cast cars

Collecting 1:64 and 1:18 scale models — currently hunting late-'90s Porsche and Peugeot 205 Rallye castings. Yes, I know the paint codes.
