I am a computer scientist aspiring to deliver, and help others deliver, high-quality code that is reliable, fast, and maintainable.

I obtained my PhD in Computer Science in September 2010 from the State University of New York at Stony Brook under the excellent supervision of Annie Liu. My PhD thesis was on Efficient Datalog Queries with Time and Space Complexity Guarantees. A list of my academic publications can be found here.

I am currently a software engineer at Meta since Dec 2023, and an visiting assistant professor at the State University of New York at Stony Brook since Nov 2016.

I previously worked at Columbus Consulting (2013-2023) on software and data solutions for various retailers (including Nike, PepsiCo, Ralph Lauren among others), and at LogicBlox (2010-2013) on cutting-edge declarative database technologies for retailers (including Walgreens, Crate & Barrel and Carhartt).

I taught (2014-2020) Introduction to Data Modeling and Processing in the Data Analytics MS program at Sabanci University.

On a more personal note, I was born in Jan ’85 in the most beautiful city on earth. I got my BSc in Computer Science with a minor in Mathematics at Sabanci University. I currently live in London but I am not part of a set.

I like swimming, running, cycling, football, cooking, eating, classical music, modal jazz, 70s rock, nouvelle vague cinema, analytic philosophy, 20th century politics, linguistics, and learning in the most general sense. Currently learning to play the piano, and to speak German. I am native in Turkish, fluent in English, upper-intermediate in French.

I sometimes write.
