Kadir GiriciI think in data. I build with AI.
Industrial engineering taught me to see problems as processes, to plan and optimize them. I bring that mindset into data science and AI, using AI tools to simplify and speed up the work I take on.

About
I'm a recent industrial engineering graduate. A growing interest in AI pulled me first into data analysis, then into AI solutions. I use AI in my projects, but also in everyday work to learn faster and get more done. During my university summers I worked at a hotel in Alanya, so I know the tourism industry firsthand, and for a while I also sold gold jewelry on Etsy.
My goal is to gain hands-on experience across different departments and turn what I know from industrial engineering into results in the field. I enjoy untangling business processes and simplifying workflows, and I usually find the best solution by working with a team. I build my web projects with AI-assisted development (vibe coding): I use AI as both a teacher and a pair-programmer, and I don't stop before the product ships. My live projects are the proof.
I combine my experience in production planning, quality control, inventory management and ERP with the AI and data science training I've done, working hands-on with data cleaning, processing, visualization and forecasting models. I also bring AI into my everyday workflow: I build my own tools and AI agents to solve the problems I run into, finishing work faster and with fewer errors. Analytical thinking and problem-solving sit at the center of how I work.
