I am a computer engineering researcher and software developer with expertise in blockchain technology and distributed systems, with a Ph.D. from the Department of Computer Engineering at Boğaziçi University (2024, supervised by Prof. Can Özturan) and an M.Sc. in Computer Science from Binghamton University (SUNY) (2015, supervised by Prof. Kanad Ghose).
In spring 2025, I served as a Part-time Lecturer at Boğaziçi University, teaching "Functional Programming and Verification" to senior undergraduates; students rated me the best lecturer that semester.
My research is in blockchain technology and distributed systems. I work on autonomous blockchain-based computational brokers for e-Science: systems that use smart contracts to coordinate distributed computational workflows without a central authority. That covers smart contract design, workflow management, resource allocation, and performance optimization.
I have published in Cluster Computing (Springer), Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience (Wiley), and IEEE conferences, and I review for several international venues. I also answer questions on Stack Overflow, and quite a few of my answers have picked up views over the years. I built eBlocBroker, a blockchain-based autonomous computational resource broker for e-Science, which I worked on across multiple years and genuinely enjoyed.
Hobbies: I enjoy gaming and have spent hundreds of hours on Steam, usually picking apart both the mechanics and the story of whatever I'm playing.
