Hi! I’m so glad you found this website! I hope you find interesting stuff in here. My name is Dorukhan and I build machine learning products for a living. After getting my PhD in Industrial Engineering at Arizona State University (with a focus on Machine Learning), I decided to move onto the industry to be more hands-on with building machine learning-driven products.

This blog is meant to serve two purposes: (1) my public journal of ideas and opinions, (2) a collection of my learnings that I want to share publicly. If there are topics that you think I might be the right person to cover, please reach me out through LinkedIn or email.

Here are the stuff that I’m currently reading, thinking, pondering, wasting time about:

• How can we expand from the scientific consensus on climate change and turn it into a global metanarrative so that we can start addressing it at a global scale?
• What can we learn from the history about growing income inequality to make sure we make a smooth transition into a more equitable society?
• Is there free will? (Yes, I’m still not over that topic.)
• Machine Learning System Design best practices.
• Opportunities for sailing in NYC!
