✅ Top Mentor
👋 Hey, I'm Mert, 6+ years of experience in AI and Data Science - and I've been right where you are in the tech world.
I started in a non-technical role in Turkey, and the journey to where I am today, working with NLP tech and generative AI in Germany, wasn't always a smooth ride. I know it's full of twists and turns, uncertainty, and the drive to explore something new.
💡 My Journey
If you're considering diving into Generative AI, NLP, or transitioning to a more technical role, I understand the challenges. I've been there too, and I've navigated the path you're on. It's not just about technology; it's about gaining confidence on which steps to take, to grow fast and strong.
I've specialized in transformer-based NLP models, delved deep into LLMs, and crafted products that enhance user experiences and boost business efficiency. Nowadays, I work a lot with agentic applications built with frameworks such as langchain and langgraph.
But more importantly than these, I've helped individuals just like you explore the tech landscape, develop new skills, and find their way in this ever-evolving industry.

5 out of 5 stars
Working with Mert was a really valuable experience for me. What I appreciated most was his ability to simplify complex AI and system architecture topics into practical and realistic next steps. A lot of the advice he gave probably feels very basic and obvious from an experienced AI engineer’s perspective — but for someone building their understanding from the business side, those insights were incredibly valuable. He helped me clearly separate “custom business logic” from “custom software,” which completely changed how I think about AI implementation. I also appreciated that his recommendations were grounded in real-world practicality instead of hype or overengineering. The mentoring helped me better understand AI workflows, orchestration, fine-tuning, and how to approach AI projects strategically. Highly recommended for founders or business owners who want to understand AI systems in a practical way without getting lost in unnecessary complexity.

I found my session with Mert to be extremely helpful. He asked very insightful questions that helped me gain clarity on my current job search and determine if I am on the right path. He also provided valuable, specific feedback on the design of my personal project. I gained a lot of value from just one conversation and am looking forward to booking more sessions.
