Hey, I'm Ata 👋

CS & AI Engineering student. I build AI products and research diffusion language models — mostly circling one question: how a model learns to revise its way to the right answer.

📍 Istanbul  ·  🎓 Işık University (CS & Eng, AI minor)  ·  🛠️ Incoming AI Engineering Intern @ Digiturk  ·  🌍 Erasmus @ BME Budapest, Fall '26


🔓 Open source

manifold — a local, type-aware diffusion code editor. Whole-region edits get steered by type-checker feedback inside the denoising loop, on Apple Silicon (MLX).

prometheus — self-evolving LLM training through autonomous verification expansion, all on consumer hardware.


🛠️ Selected work

Mostly closed-source — happy to walk through any of them.

Project What it is
Nuans AI Turkish news intelligence — aggregation + LLM bias analysis
Mimik Voice-cloning iOS app, heading to the App Store
Lumen Privacy-first iOS LMS client running on-device Apple Foundation Models
Clairvoyant Calibration-first probabilistic forecasting for prediction markets

🔬 Research

  • Revisability as reasoning in diffusion LMs — building a benchmark for whether dLLMs can productively revise their own drafts. Targeting ICML, with a faculty co-author.
  • Self-supervised image classification — RotNet pretraining + EMA + pseudo-labeling (Kaggle).
