About

I am a Senior Software Engineer at MathWorks, where I work on AI and machine learning for wireless communication systems. My work focuses on applying AI/ML techniques to physical-layer problems, including receiver design, learned communication systems, channel state information compression, positioning, and emerging AI-native approaches for 6G.

My recent focus is on AI-native receivers (DeepRx), MATLAB↔Python co-execution, and building tools for NLP in Turkish (e.g., sozluk.online).

Interests

• AI-native receivers (DeepRx), CSI compression, positioning
• MATLAB ↔ Python co-execution workflows
• Turkish NLP: tokenizer & modern dictionary
