Hi, I'mFatih Çakır

Backend Engineer & AI Developer

Building scalable systems at the intersection of backend, AI & DevOps.

A bit about me

I'm a Software Engineering graduate from Eastern Mediterranean University, where I studied on a full scholarship through an ABET-accredited, English-medium program (February 2026). My main focus is backend development with .NET, though I genuinely enjoy working at the point where backend meets AI and DevOps.

I led the AI and Backend side of our graduation project, which won the faculty's Best Project Award. It was a Cyprus grocery price comparison platform built with RAG architecture, fuzzy search algorithms, and a smart basket optimizer. Before that I did two internships: a real-time YOLOv8 computer vision system at Bursa Çimento Fabrikası, and an inventory management system at TOFAŞ.

I'm eager to step into professional life and bring fresh energy to a team that loves building great things.
