this is Burak.
CTO & co-founder. PhD in ML systems. I build production AI, end-to-end, not demos.
Work
-
Sales runs on data, but the feedback is always after the fact. We’re trying to give every rep a personal Jarvis: it listens, finds the patterns behind a win, and puts them to work live.
Right now I’m deep into agentic graph architectures and self-improving loops: AI that gets better without manual intervention. Been studying Karpathy’s lecture on agents, loops, graphs, self-improving systems.

Before LLMs were everywhere, I worked on making chatbot decisions explainable. Built a parser for multi-intent requests that matched deep learning accuracy at 48x the speed. Two patents came out of it.

Supercomputers slow down without warning. I built systems that catch the drift early, with very few examples to learn from.

PhD, Computer Engineering · PeacLab
2018-2024
Big systems generate more data than people can read. I built ML that explains what’s wrong, not just that something is. Deployed it on a production supercomputer at Sandia. Fulbright Grantee, R&D 100 finalist.

In my free time I’m trying to perfect espresso, and learning to produce electronic music, drums mostly. Always down for any form of volleyball: if your indoor league needs a sub, or you need an extra for grass, DMs are open. Feel free to send cocktail and restaurant recommendations, including what to try.
