About
I'm an electrical and electronics engineering student.
I’m drawn to the invisible side of AI: the chips that run models, the energy that powers those chips, and the ways to keep these systems secure. However fast AI advances, it keeps running into the limits of silicon, energy and security. Those limits are where I want to go deep.
My main focus is AI hardware: chip design and verification. Power electronics and AI security are the adjacent fields that feed it. My goal is to become an engineer who builds systems where security is considered from the very first design step, not added afterwards.
Now
- A small AI accelerator: Designing a compact INT8 neural network inference accelerator in Verilog and verifying it bit-exactly with cocotb, on the way to an FPGA and Tiny Tapeout.
- RTL-SecCheck: Building an open-source pipeline that checks AI-written RTL for functional and security defects.
- Taking cybersecurity and AI security courses in Turkey's Siber Vatan program.
Next
- Power electronics: A small-scale model of a data center power architecture.
