About me
About me
Hi! I'm an Economics undergraduate at Boğaziçi University, aspiring to specialize in data science. To support this goal, during my studies at university I choose elective courses such as Advanced Econometrics and Machine Learning.
Alongside my university education, I actively pursue online learning through Coursera, focusing on courses offered by leading institutions in Data Science, Business Intelligence, and Data Analysis.
As an economics student who has a deep passion in the field, my aspiration is to combine economics and data science to contribute to evidence-based policymaking or data-driven business strategy.
