Building intelligent systems that solve real problems through thoughtful design and technology.

My Story

Born in Michigan and raised in Istanbul, I completed K‑12 at Hisar School before moving to New York to pursue a B.A. in Economics at NYU as a Presidential Honors Scholar.

I founded LumenAI—an autonomous AI research platform—and interned at KPMG Türkiye in Strategy & Operations. In June 2025, I'll join Consulta as an intern. My entrepreneurial roots include Flux (a personal AI assistant) and Kumpara (entrepreneurship competition), which sparked my passion for building tools that empower users.

Today, I specialize in prompt engineering—using Windsurf to chain AI tools and automate workflows—and I'm building Memento, a smart notes app, alongside a macroeconomics simulator that lets students test policy, market sentiment, and model economic scenarios.
