Özkan Yıldız

Hello! I am Özkan, a Computer Engineering student and Software Team Lead driven by a deep passion for autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, and building reliable software architectures. Currently, I am expanding my academic and cultural horizons as an Erasmus+ exchange student at Gdańsk University of Technology in Poland, building upon my ongoing studies at Düzce University.

My primary focus is developing complete autonomous software stacks and data-driven solutions. I leverage open-source ecosystems like ROS 2 on Linux, integrating maintainable Python and C++ code. From deploying real-time machine learning models (YOLO, XGBoost) to utilizing computer vision (OpenCV) for complex environmental perception, I thrive on solving real-world engineering challenges.

Beyond the terminal, I highly value global perspectives. Having studied abroad in both Portugal and Poland, I have sharpened my adaptability and cross-cultural collaboration skills. Whether I am leading technical teams for major competitions (TEKNOFEST), developing AI-powered applications, or exploring new industrial frameworks, my ultimate goal is always to turn complex ideas into functional, high-quality reality.
