Altar BüyükdoğanAI / ML Engineer

I build intelligent products people can actually use.

I’m a computer engineer focused on applied AI, language technologies, and product engineering—from model experimentation and evaluation to complete web and mobile experiences.

Based in TürkiyeAI / ML Engineering

01 / Selected work

Products, not just proofs of concept.

Selected work across culture, playful digital products, social experiences, and applied language technology.

02 / Approach

The useful part of AI begins after the prototype.

I work where models, software systems, and user experience meet.

I’m a computer engineer focused on applied AI and product-oriented development. My work often spans data preparation, model integration and evaluation, backend services, and the final interface—because the seams between those layers are where product quality is won.

01

Product before demo

A model becomes valuable when it survives real constraints and supports a clear human need.

02

Explainability over black boxes

Evaluation, traceability, and understandable behavior make intelligent systems easier to trust.

03

Shipping over endless iteration

The fastest way to learn is to place a coherent version in people’s hands and observe.

03 / More projects

Systems, studies, and experiments.

01

Explainable AI · Open source

Vision Explain

A local-first CLI and Python toolkit that turns image-classification predictions into Grad-CAM heatmaps, overlays, JSON, and standalone reports.

02

Applied NLP

Telovia Spam Detector

An interpretable multilingual spam pipeline combining fine-tuned DistilBERT probabilities with deterministic scam and phishing rules.

03

ML tooling · Open source

Dataset Doctor

A local CLI and Python library for detecting label conflicts, duplicates, imbalance, text anomalies, and train/test leakage before training.

04

Language technology · npm

insanca-tr

Open-source Turkish plain-language tooling that identifies formal or bureaucratic phrases and suggests clearer, more accessible alternatives.

05

Computer vision

Offline OCR Pipeline

Local-first extraction for industrial documents with tables, mixed text, and custom preprocessing.

06

Enterprise systems

Approval chains, notifications, metadata, and internal document workflows built on Frappe.

04 / Capabilities

From model behavior to product behavior.

I use machine learning as part of complete products, not only as isolated notebooks.
