Profile

Tahsin Özgür KOÇ

Software Engineer & AI Researcher

Background

Journey into Technology

My path in technology began with a fascination for how systems work and the desire to build them better. I started with full-stack web development, which gave me the fundamentals of building scalable, maintainable systems. Over time, my focus shifted toward the more challenging problems in artificial intelligence and autonomous systems.

Research & Development

I've evolved from being purely a practitioner to combining software engineering with research. This hybrid approach allows me to not just implement solutions but understand the underlying principles and contribute to advancing the field. I'm particularly interested in systems that can perceive, reason, and make decisions with minimal human intervention.

Philosophy

I believe in intentional design and rigorous implementation. Whether building a system or contributing to research, I focus on understanding the problem deeply before pursuing solutions. Code is a means to an end—the real goal is creating systems that are elegant, efficient, and meaningful.

Education

Fullstack Engineer

Creamobile Information Technologies LTD.

2022 - 2023

I played a role in the development of various process management applications, with a primary focus on backend development using .NET Core, and utilizing PostgreSQL as the database.

Database Management: I handled database management tasks, ensuring data integration and efficient database operations in accordance with project requirements. Throughout my time, I predominantly focused on backend development using .NET Core, becoming adept at utilizing Mosquitto MQTT and SignalR for socket and MQTT communication. I developed backend solutions and web APIs.

Node.js for Micro Solutions: Occasionally, I developed applications in Node.js to simulate test environments and devices for micro-solutions. These applications were designed to provide a testing ground for various scenarios.
