About Me
$ location Dortmund, Germany $ background METU Computer Engineering TU Dortmund Data Science MSc $ focus AI / Data Science / Software
I am Furkan Duman, a Computer Engineering graduate from Middle East Technical University and a Data Science master's student at TU Dortmund University. My work sits at the intersection of data analysis, machine learning, cognitive research, and practical software engineering.
Recently, I have been focusing on AI implementation: turning research ideas and experimental data into working pipelines, models, and tools. At IfADo in Dortmund, I work with eye-tracking experiment data, supporting preprocessing, visualization, analysis, and interpretation for cognitive research. I am especially interested in AI systems that are measurable, explainable, and useful beyond a demo.
My background combines academic research and hands-on development. I have worked on an AI-based autism diagnosis system using web-based eye tracking, implemented machine learning pipelines for behavioral research, built backend APIs, created data collection tools, and developed applications with Python, C#, Java, SQL, Flask, Docker, and modern web technologies.
Interested in LLM systems, model behavior, evaluation, and optimization problems where research ideas need to become usable AI workflows.
Projects across Bayesian inference, REST APIs, eye-tracking tools, web scraping, data products, and applied AI systems.
