Niyeo is a multi-tenant SaaS eCommerce platform in Turkey's market. It gives the clients the ability to create their eCommerce sites automatically. The project was developed using Java, Spring, and AngularJS.

The Public Electronic Payment System is one of the biggest e-government projects in Turkey. It is designed to safely and efficiently perform government expenditures such as the provision of social benefits, salaries, pensions, travel, and miscellaneous expenses incurred by government employees on behalf of the government. Java, Spring, and Struts were used for the project.

The system enables Treasury to perform real-time inquiries about the balance and movements of its accounts. The infrastructure accepts e-signed payment orders and performs the appropriate payments automatically. The project was developed by Java, Spring Web Services, Spring (Struts, Hibernate, JSP), and COBOL.

In the PhD work, I was worked on data integration and bioinformatics. Started with the short time series micro-array data analysis, I then generalized the method to combine micro-array data, interaction networks, and Gene Ontology. We created the IBH package, which is accepted to Bioconductor, which computes the fitness of a given gene list to an interaction network.

In the master's thesis, I worked on creating an OCR for the Turkish language. I used image processing techniques for pre-processing such as skew correction, noise removal, and segmentation, and applied neural networks to create a classifier for Turkish characters. We combined it with a Turkish post-processor and achieved very successful results that are far better than commercially available tools at that time.
