Hi, I'm Kaan

Bio

Hello, I'm Kaan Nakipoğlu, a Software Engineer and Software Engineering MSc candidate at Technische Universität Wien (TU Wien). My main interests are Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Science, and full-stack software development. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering from Izmir University of Economics, graduating with honors and a GPA of 3.16/4.00, and completed an Erasmus study period at Università degli Studi Niccolò Cusano in Rome.

My recent work includes privacy-focused LLM systems, machine-learning competition pipelines, mobile and desktop applications, data analysis, and software automation. I work with technologies such as Python, Java, C#, Dart, SQL, .NET, Flutter, and Firebase, and I use modern AI-assisted development tools including Claude Code and OpenAI Codex.

I am currently seeking student, part-time, and internship opportunities in software engineering, AI/ML, and data-focused development. Feel free to contact me through this form, email, or LinkedIn.
