More About Me


Hey there! I'm Ugurcan, Senior student currently at Binghamton University

As a part of the Dual Diploma program, apart from the Istanbul Technical University, I am also student at Binghamton University majoring in Watson School of Engineering in Information Systems. I work accordingly to follow the current technologies and I seek opportunities to develop my problem solving techniques and programming skills. I'm interested in artificial intelligence ,machine learning tools, image processing, coding algorithms, and teaching / tutoring (both coding and non-coding things!).

I have previous experience both in industry as well as in research roles. For example, I've previously interned at Isbank, ITU- Artificial Intelligence and Robotic Lab, and YapiKredi Technology. Also, I am a director of Activities and Events at TURCA Binghamton . Please see my resume (or continue scrolling down here) if you want to learn more about my past positions.

Above all, I am passionate about altruistic causes using technology.

In my free time, I enjoy playing basketball, watching series, working out, traveling, and drinking coffee :)
