Years Experience

I am Efe Hüseyin Özkan, a Management Information Systems student at Altınbaş University (ranked 1st in class, GPA: 3.76), with a strong focus on software engineering and emerging technologies.

My programming journey began in 2021 with Python, which quickly expanded into databases, web development, and eventually full-stack engineering. Over the years, I have developed a particular interest in building products that sit at the intersection of modern web technologies and artificial intelligence.

I am currently on an Erasmus exchange at Universidade da Coruña studying Computer Engineering. My project work reflects a commitment to building complete, end-to-end solutions - from model training to production-ready user interfaces.
