Projects

Selected work spanning research and production: the proof-of-learning and watermarking code behind my papers, real-time systems primitives, interactive explainers, and clinical tooling. One through-line runs through all of it: ML and systems you can verify, not just run. Each project links to its repository and writeup; the Interactive Lab has eight playable demos of the ideas.

    Avion AI Strategy & Agent Platform

    Authored Avion's enterprise AI strategy and built the platform that presents it. A three-tier architecture (air-gapped on-prem LLMs, a governed cloud-LLM API tier, and edge) plus a suite of retrieval-augmented and autonomous agents: an engineering-knowledge copilot with grounded citations and change-impact analysis, an autonomous repository agent, an RFP accelerator, and a training-debrief writer. Built end to end with Flask, SQLite, Docker, and GitLab CI/CD. Explore the interactive reference architecture →

    Research Lab: interactive experiments

    Eight interactive experiments covering distributed consensus, model watermarking, proof-of-learning, fault tolerance, and gradient descent. Each presents a real scenario with measurable outcomes. Built to make the core concepts of my research accessible in three minutes.

Research

  • Ph.D. · ML Security

    SecurePoL with Watermarking

    Reference implementation accompanying my dissertation. Integrates feature-based model watermarking with proof-of-learning to defend ML training integrity against spoofing attacks.

  • Adversarial ML

    Adversarial Examples for Proof-of-Learning

    Code investigating adversarial strategies that subvert PoL verification. Informs defenses introduced in the SecurePoL line of work.

  • M.Sc. · NLP Security

    METU Master's Thesis

    Detection of cyber-security events from Turkish Twitter and newspaper streams, completed at Middle East Technical University (METU) under Prof. Cengiz Acartürk. This research served as the foundation for my published ICISSP paper, co-authored with him.

Applied AI Concepts & Architectures

A collection of brainstormed enterprise AI architectures and proof-of-concept system designs. These models explore how discipline-specific AI agents, grounded in approved corporate data, can utilize local on-prem inference for data sovereignty alongside secure APIs for de-identified reasoning.

  • AI Agent · Engineering

    Engineering Knowledge Copilot

    A version-aware copilot over a massive engineering corpus. Answers questions with grounded citations, synthesizes the impact of document and spec changes across downstream artifacts, and generates suggested playbooks. Powered by on-prem multimodal parsing and semantic diffs.

  • AI Agent · CI/CD Integration

    Autonomous Engineering Staff Agent

    A hybrid agent embedded in the software development lifecycle. Conducts autonomous code reviews, verifies release integrity against requirements, and flags integration risks before deployment using self-hosted Git pipelines.

  • AI Agent · Proposals

    RFP Accelerator

    An agent that ingests Request for Proposal (RFP) documents, searches past answers, product specs, and OEM manuals, and drafts a clear, cited reply. Reduces RFP cycle-time significantly without data exfiltration.

  • AI Agent · Education

    Instructor Debrief Writer

    Enhances training session logs by stripping student identifiers, drafting a polished on-tone debrief from telemetry and instructor bullet notes, and suggesting rubric grades for human approval.

  • AI Agent · Communications

    Customer Update Auto-Writer

    Cuts incident turnaround time by translating technical fault summaries into customer-ready bulletins that are on-brand, non-alarmist, and free of proprietary detail, utilizing a PII redaction gateway.

  • AI Agent · Field Operations

    Fault Diagnostics Copilot

    Retrieves similar historical cases and OEM bulletins via RAG to classify the likely fault domain (software / hardware / wiring) and assign ownership on the first pass using an air-gapped on-prem model.

  • Generative AI · Marketing

    Brand-Controlled Visual Generation

    A localized Stable Diffusion XL / ControlNet pipeline that enforces strict style-locking and automated brand-compliance checks, generating high-fidelity assets in seconds.

  • AI Agent · Quality Assurance

    Qualification Lifecycle Copilot

    Generates hardware qualification plans with time estimates, tracks checklist completion live, and auto-packages test results and telemetry into audit-ready bundles with full requirement traceability.

  • Analytics · Strategy

    Leadership Briefing Generator

    Produces weekly leadership pulses and meeting agendas from a single source of truth by reading commits, pull requests, and support threads through a redaction gateway before summarization.

  • Data Science · Operations

    Predictive Maintenance Forecaster

    Uses fleet-wide operational telemetry to predict component wear and schedule maintenance proactively before a system goes unplanned-offline. Built on Scikit-learn and Prophet time-series models.
