I build internal tools, AI agents and backends that take the busywork out of everyday processes.

Open to projects & internships

01About

I grew up in Istanbul, earned the German Abitur at İstanbul Erkek Lisesi and moved to Munich in 2025 to study Computer Science at the Technical University of Munich.

I like projects that connect things. At a weekend hackathon I helped build an AI agent that ties TUM's scattered platforms together. When I was hunting for an apartment, I wrote a scraper that pinged me on Telegram whenever a matching listing appeared. At work, I automate recurring business processes for a virtual power plant operator.

Outside of code, I spent years in Model United Nations and represented my school at the European Parliament in Strasbourg.

Personal project · May – Jun 2026

IsarAlert

Munich apartment notifier

Scrapes every 15 min · Telegram alert on match

A backend that scrapes WG-Gesucht every 15 minutes and sends Telegram alerts for listings that match custom criteria such as rent, district and U-Bahn line. I used it for my own apartment hunt in Munich.

  • Backend: Jsoup scraper with deduplication, a criteria-matching engine and a REST API for user profiles.
  • Infra: PostgreSQL with Flyway migrations, packaged with Docker Compose.
  • Java
  • Spring Boot
  • PostgreSQL
  • Flyway
  • Docker
  • Telegram API
