Hi, I'm Halil.

I'm a Senior AI Engineer focused on agentic AI systems, fintech, risk management, and voice AI. I build production-grade systems with strong emphasis on evaluation, automated testing, and reliability.

I have hands-on experience across audio and music AI, including model and platform work for production music generation systems, alongside broader speech and voice AI projects.

I'm also a big fan of AI-native engineering workflows and regularly use Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode in day-to-day development.
