01About

Serhan is a Computer Engineering student at Ege University in İzmir, working on AI-driven robotics, computer vision and embedded systems.

Right now he captains two TEKNOFEST 2026 teams — LAÇİN and TUYGUN — and leads embedded work on two more. Four competition projects running at once.

As Computer Society Chairperson at IEEE Ege University he leads six technical sub-teams and teaches Arduino and embedded systems to other students.

He builds end to end: Deneyap firmware at one end, React and Electron ground stations packaged as standalone executables at the other.

Turned manual startup research into an autonomous pipeline

Serhan was handed a recurring task: research startups across the Turkish and US markets — filter announcements by date range, back-analyse them, trace each founder's prior experience, and report it all. The obvious answer was to grind through it by hand in a spreadsheet. He built the pipeline that does it without him instead.

The pipeline

  1. 01 Scrape sources
  2. 02 Filter & summarise
  3. 03 Fill the gaps
  4. 04 Structure to JSON
  5. 05 Categorise
  6. 06 Auto-fill documents

n8n orchestrates the flow; the ChatGPT (GPT-4o) API turns filtered text into clean, structured JSON. Before committing to it he benchmarked six language models on cost and rate limits and settled on the one that kept the run economical — by then it had already cleared the first 80 rows of a 440-row backlog on its own.
