Selected work.

Problem.A century of national energy production, consumption, and policy data sat fragmented across CSVs and PDFs, unusable for evidence-based policy analysis.

Approach.Built a dynamic Turkish-language data portal consolidating 100 years of quantitative and qualitative energy data with time-series charts, sectoral distribution models, and interactive dashboards.

Result.Live national portal used by researchers and policy stakeholders under the project "Energy Strategies in the Second Century of the Republic".

Problem.Quantifying how music videos shape tourism perception requires large-scale, multi-language social media data plus cultural NLP processing.

Approach.Engineered the data infrastructure: YouTube API ingestion, ETL pipelines, NLP and ML models surfacing cultural and sociological signals about destination marketing on social platforms.

Result.National research project deliverable enabling marketing & sociology researchers to query patterns across thousands of cross-language music videos.

Problem.Zero-day and fileless malware evade signature-based detection and overwhelm analysts with raw memory artefacts.

Approach.Designed an automated memory forensics triage system on top of Volatility3 with unsupervised ML (Isolation Forest) over behavioural and graph-theoretic features to surface anomalous processes.

Result.Manuscript under review (Texas, USA). Co-authored with H. Coskun and R. Creutzburg.

Problem.Generic search tools fail at semantic, domain-specific basketball queries and break entirely on Turkish league data.

Approach.Built a dual-intelligence RAG system: a vector store of 873 official rule documents plus a FastAPI server over 17,000+ Turkish league games, routed by an intent classifier and exposed through a Gradio UI.

Result.Answers complex bilingual queries about both rules and live league statistics via a single conversational interface.

Problem.Power distribution operators lack a structured pipeline that combines open-source intelligence with AI-based protection for SCADA assets.

Approach.Performed a hands-on OSINT vulnerability assessment on a SCADA testbed in Milan and contributed to a novel framework combining OSINT-driven threat discovery with AI-based protective controls.

Result.Published at IEEE UPEC 2025 (DOI: 10.1109/UPEC65436.2025.11279773).

Problem.Coursework rarely connects OS theory (allocation, scheduling, IO) to measurable performance on a single rig.

Approach.Engineered a Makefile-driven suite implementing a custom memory allocator, process scheduler, UNIX shell, and minimal web server, each with reproducible benchmarks.

Result.Reusable framework for systems performance experiments and a teaching reference.
