Hi, I'm

Mert Gürlek

Combining a physics-rooted analytical mindset with 4 years of experience, I build AI-powered products that simplify business processes and extract value from data.

About Me

I'm an AI Engineer with a physics background, focused on turning ambiguous problems into reliable, user-facing AI capabilities across the full delivery lifecycle — from research and prototyping to deployment and iteration.

At Uyumsoft, I trained and evaluated NLP systems at scale (e.g., BERT fine-tuning on 1M+ records), built a GPT-4o RAG chatbot reaching ~90% accuracy under corruption scenarios, and translated findings into feasibility notes that informed product roadmaps.

I also have 3 years of hands-on vibe coding experience — rapidly shipping end-to-end solutions. Today, my live projects include depremehazirmisin.com, hireparticle.com, and yds.mertgurlek.com; and my thesis explores superconductors in space missions, reflecting my goal to combine physics intuition, practical AI tooling, and fast product execution into a uniquely effective profile.
