Profile: https://flows.cv/nadirkutluozen

I’m a Software Engineer focused on building scalable, reliable systems and taking full ownership of the code I ship. My work spans full-stack development, AI/ML, and real-time systems, with hands-on experience designing REST APIs, backend architectures, and interactive frontends.

I’m currently involved in AI research at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, exploring transformer models, interpretability, and neural network behavior, with a strong focus on understanding systems beyond the surface.

I value clear communication, collaboration, and system design thinking, making complex ideas easy to understand across teams. I’m looking to keep building and improving as an engineer in modern software and AI environments.
