I help researchers, biotech companies, and scientific organizations build AI-powered research workflows, analyze complex biological datasets, develop scientific software and transform experimental data into actionable insights. I am a PhD-trained Computational Biologist and Data Scientist with over 14 years of experience in biological research and scientific data analysis. I am also a cofounder of DataLens.Tools, where we design AI-powered knowledge systems, research automation tools, scientific data analysis platforms, retrieval-augmented applications and custom AI workflows for research and industry. I specialize in computational biology, bioinformatics, machine learning, scientific Python development and AI-powered research workflows. I help researchers, biotech teams and scientific organizations transform complex biological data into actionable insights through data analysis, computational modeling and custom software solutions. Alongside my research and computational work, I have experience teaching and mentoring students and researchers in biological data analysis, Python, statistics, machine learning and computational research methods. I particularly enjoy helping researchers understand not only how to use computational tools, but also why a particular analytical or machine-learning approach is appropriate for their scientific question. My expertise spans computational biology, bioinformatics, machine learning, scientific image analysis, cheminformatics, protein modeling and data visualization. I also have extensive experience working with fluorescence microscopy, calcium imaging, electrophysiology datasets and high-dimensional biological data. Key Areas of Expertise • Computational Biology & Bioinformatics • Machine Learning & AI for Biological Data • AI Systems & Knowledge Engineering - Agentic AI Workflows - Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) - AI Memory & Knowledge Systems - Scientific AI Applications - Research Automation - AI Workflow Architecture • Scientific Python Development (Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn, PyTorch) • Data Analysis, Statistics & Visualization • Image Processing & Quantitative Microscopy • Cheminformatics & Protein Modeling • Computational Neuroscience & Electrophysiology • Research Automation & Scientific Software Development Selected Research & Technical Projects • Developed reproducible Python pipelines for fluorescence imaging and quantitative biological data analysis. • Designed machine-learning workflows for biological and physiological datasets. • Conducted bioinformatics analyses involving genomic and VCF-based datasets. • Developed AI-assisted approaches for fluorescence microscopy and scientific image analysis. • Applied statistical modeling to investigate calcium dynamics and muscle physiology in Drosophila flight systems. • Built scientific software for data visualization, analysis, and workflow automation. • Developed and taught computational workflows that help researchers understand and independently analyze biological datasets. • Co-founded DataLens.Tools, where we develop AI-powered tools and workflows for scientific research and data analysis. I have authored peer-reviewed scientific publications and presented research at international conferences. I enjoy collaborating on interdisciplinary projects at the intersection of biology, AI, data science and scientific computing. I am particularly interested in projects where researchers need more than a black-box analysis, whether that means developing a reproducible computational workflow, validating a machine-learning approach, building a scientific AI system or helping a research team understand and adopt computational methods. If you are working with complex biological data or exploring how AI, machine learning or scientific computing could support your research, I would be happy to connect.

I build and maintain WordPress websites, fix what other developers left behind, and make them rank. What I do most often • WordPress development, repairs and monthly maintenance • Taking over existing sites: unfamiliar custom code, broken plugins, post-attack cleanup • Technical SEO: Search Console, indexing, redirects, Core Web Vitals, structured data • Connecting APIs and automating work that would otherwise be done by hand • AI built into websites: chatbots on your own content, server-side via API, with key handling, error paths and a cost cap • Cleaning and merging Excel and CSV data with Python Some things I have built A visibility audit for an editorial WordPress site: three months of Search Console data, 522 search terms analysed and matched against the site structure. Delivered: rewritten titles and meta descriptions, six internal links, a competing old homepage removed via 301, an indexed author archive shut down — documented in a twelve-page report with evidence and a priority list. A price monitor that checks 14 online shops every ten minutes across more than 78,000 items and reports only real changes. A desktop application that combines ten live data sources into one display. A chatbot for a hotel, built on Supabase and Vercel. A company website for a wholesaler, and ongoing WordPress maintenance for a medical blog. How I work I come from quality management, and I work that way: a full backup before any change, every step documented, every result verified on the live front end — not just saved in the backend. If something breaks, I roll back instead of improvising. You get sites where nothing comes back after handover. I speak German and Turkish natively and work fluently in English — useful if your clients or your content are German-speaking. Tell me what you need and you get a straight answer on whether it is possible and how long it will take.
