Profile

My career began in state-scale software: national e-Government services, customs and legal-entity registries, and then carrier IPTV platforms delivered with ZTE at Netaş.

Systems that carry legal or operational consequence teach a particular discipline, which is to keep the evidence attached to the result. I carried it into agentic AI, software-testing automation, quantum development workflows and hardware-backed research under uncertainty.

It remains the through-line. Calibration and classical baselines stay beside the claim, execution context stays beside the result, and a person stays in the loop wherever the consequences are real.

Where the work happens

Three places the record names, and what each one actually accounts for.

Türkiye Engineering base

Carrier IPTV platforms delivered with ZTE at Netaş, national e-Government and customs systems, and thesis mentoring for defence-relevant AI under the SAYZEK programme.

netasSSB

United Kingdom Company and consortium

Neura Parse Ltd, incorporated 27 June 2025 with its registered office in London. The NODERIQ consortium coordination and the UK research and funding routes under evaluation run from here.

celtic nextUKRI

Singapore Market discovery

Short visits supporting APAC discovery for NowFlow and NeuraOS, and the qualification of independent business partners against real end-user problems.

Discovery and partner qualification. It does not establish procurement, a commercial partner, a paid engagement or a deployment.

Current delivery

Product, consortium and professional work with status boundaries.

The active work now covers QFlow pilot planning, NODERIQ consortium development, governed enterprise AI delivery and agentic software-testing architecture. The full working sequence, current public-release figures and open R&D routes are recorded separately.

  1. May – June 2026

    Technical Reviewer, IEEE GLOBECOM 2026

    IEEE Global Communications Conference · Selected Areas in Communications

    Selected by the Cloud and Edge Computing and Networking chairs to conduct an independent technical peer review, and completed it within the deadline. The assignment came from the conference review system rather than from me, and its wording tied the request explicitly to my area of expertise: AI-enabled in-network computing, edge and cloud networking, and programmable systems.

    SAYZEK Certificate of Appreciation

    Presidency of Defence Industries (SSB) · Council of Higher Education (YÖK)

    Awarded a Certificate of Appreciation for guidance and contribution as an industry mentor in SAYZEK, Türkiye’s national defence-industry AI thesis programme. I mentored undergraduate and master’s students across several universities, working on AI-enabled imagery processing for UAV and armed-UAV platforms, and on radar-data analysis for AI-based ground localisation and target classification. Each student’s progress went through three interim reports that I reviewed and scored, and much of the work was helping them connect academic method to real engineering constraint.

    Independent Startup Assessment, Neura Parse

    Estonia Startup Committee

    Neura Parse was reviewed by Estonia’s Startup Committee and considered to meet the startup definition under the Aliens Act. The assessment came from an external review process rather than from the company’s own positioning.

    Decided
    August 2025
    Validity
    Acceptance letter valid 5 years

    A company-level assessment of startup character. It is not a personal award, not a visa or residence decision, and not evidence of revenue, customers, investment or adoption.

SSBUniversity mentoring

What the SAYZEK mentoring involved, described at a non-operational level.

The mentoring was technical rather than pastoral. Students across several universities were working on defence-relevant AI, and my role was to hold the method to account while the problem stayed hard.

UAV and armed-UAV imagery
AI-enabled image processing for uncrewed and armed uncrewed aerial platforms (İHA and SİHA): detection and classification pipelines tested against real sensor conditions.
Radar-data localisation
AI methods over radar returns for position fixing and target classification, kept within non-operational academic settings.
Level
Undergraduate and master’s thesis work, supervised academically with industry mentoring layered on top.
Review load
Three interim reports per student, each reviewed and scored across the programme year.

Described at a non-operational level throughout. No restricted data, radar parameters, model thresholds or sensitive defence methods appear here, and no student is identified.
