My professional background combines engineering, law, and institutional experience, with a focus on legally complex matters requiring technical knowledge, contracts, mediation, and work at the intersection of law and technology.
I graduated from Istanbul Technical University, Department of Electronics Engineering, in 1986. Over many years in the defense industry, I worked in production, project management, and contract processes for technology-intensive systems. That experience taught me that technical matters are often not purely engineering problems — they are equally problems of regulation, liability, interpretation, and decision-making.
I subsequently completed my legal education, combining my engineering background with a legal identity, and began practicing as an attorney in 2015. My graduate studies in public law, together with my training in business administration, mediation, and expert witness work, shaped my practice particularly toward technically complex disputes, contract management, and nuanced legal assessment.
During my tenure at TÜBİTAK, I worked in both legal regulation and intellectual property, as well as in incentive and evaluation processes for R&D projects. This period provided the opportunity to assess technical content, legal framework, and institutional decision mechanisms together.
Today I continue my work primarily in technology-intensive contracts, disputes requiring technical knowledge, mediation, legal structuring, and the relationship between law and technology.

I also conduct experimental work at the intersection of law and artificial intelligence — particularly on locally running tools, document analysis, source verification, and AI-assisted legal research methods. In my approach to this field, AI functions not as a decision-maker, but as a controlled and verifiable assistive tool.
