Selected Projects

AI Customer Support Assistant

Production-ready AI assistant handling product discovery, FAQ resolution, order tracking, and store logic via real-time WebSocket communication. Supports 4+ concurrent tool-calling agents, vector search across product catalogues, and full observability via Grafana dashboards.

CineSearch – Semantic Title Search Engine

A semantic search engine built on 500k cleaned IMDb entries using Qwen embeddings, OpenAI intent parsing and a multi-step ranking pipeline. It understands user preferences such as genre, theme, tone and region to return the most relevant titles.

Düzkır Lojistik – Corporate Web Platform

A full-featured corporate website for a Turkish heavy-load logistics company operating across 13 countries. Includes a custom CMS panel with AI-powered automatic translation, a quote request ticketing system with automated email notifications, a newsletter system, and media storage on Cloudflare R2. Integrated interactive route maps and Google Analytics.

Scrapyard ERP – Business Management System

Custom desktop ERP for a local scrapyard. Replaced a fully paper-based workflow that made it hard to track real profit, cash flow, and inventory. Now the client tracks materials, weights, expenses, and daily balance in one place. Used in daily operations since launch.

Client Words

Yiğit built our entire corporate platform from the ground up. CMS, quote system, automated emails, AI translation, everything. The quality was well beyond what we expected. He took the time to really understand our business and made sure the solution fit how we actually operate, not just what we asked for.

Furkan Ellek

Head of Operations, Düzkır Lojistik

We needed a system that fit exactly how we work. Tracking materials, weights, expenses, and daily cash flow all in one place. Yiğit built it to our needs and we have been using it every day since. It has made running the business a lot easier.

Experience

Freelance AI Engineer

Self-employed

Nov 2025 - Present

Remote

  • Designed and delivered production-ready RAG pipelines using Redis, PostgreSQL, and pgvector, serving real-time semantic search across multi-thousand document corpora
  • Built multi-agent agentic workflows orchestrating 4+ LLMs (OpenAI, Claude, and local models) within a single backend system, reducing manual task handling to zero for targeted workflows
  • Architected FastAPI-based microservices handling concurrent AI workloads with sub-second response latency under normal load
  • Containerized and deployed applications on AWS using Docker, integrating Grafana and Prometheus for full observability across all services
  • Shipped 3+ end-to-end products covering AI backend, deployment, and Next.js frontend within solo engagements
  • Engineered deterministic system behavior to ensure reliability and maintainability long after delivery
