Through my father's work, I had the opportunity to experience different countries from an early age. As a child, I lived in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, and later in Sydney, Australia, where I attended primary school and became fluent in English. My family eventually settled in Vienna, Austria, where I learned German and later pursued my studies in Computer Science.

I studied Computer Science at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien). During my studies and for many years afterward, I specialized in the modeling and development of relational databases. I completed my master's thesis on database systems at Kraftwerksunion (Siemens AG) in Erlangen, Germany, under the academic supervision of the Databases and Artificial Intelligence Group at TU Wien (Advisor: Prof. Dr. Georg Gottlob). My thesis, entitled Development of a Database for the Commercial Department of Kraftwerksunion in Compliance with ISO 9001 Quality Requirements, was successfully completed in 2003.

Since 2005, I have also been actively involved in Semantic Web technologies and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Throughout my professional career as a computer scientist, I have gained extensive experience working in Vienna, Istanbul, Erlangen/Nuremberg, Darmstadt, and Frankfurt am Main.

My first article, focusing on communications satellites, was co-authored with Prof. Dr. Peter Fleissner at TU Wien in 1995. Between 2011 and 2015, I authored more than 60 articles for Bilim ve Teknik, the popular science magazine published by TÜBİTAK (Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey). These articles primarily covered Computer Science and emerging technologies, including Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Cloud Computing, and Robotics. I also served as lead editor and contributing author of two books published by Springer: Corporate Semantic Web (2015) and Semantische Datenintelligenz im Einsatz (2021). According to Google Scholar, my publications have received 161 citations, with an h-index of 7 and an i10-index of 5 (as of October 2026).

Since 2019, I have also been actively involved in public education on Artificial Intelligence through the Vienna Adult Education Centers (VHS Wien), including VHS Urania.

I am currently based in Vienna, where I focus on developing my own Machine Learning projects.
