About Me

Orhan YAZAR

I am an AI Lead Researcher and Senior Data Scientist (PhD in Machine Learning) with a strong background in mathematics. \n I design and deliver end-to-end AI solutions from research and proof of concept to production, including Generative AI, RAG architectures, and machine learning systems. \n I also lead cross-functional collaboration with business, engineering, and cloud partners to turn data opportunities into measurable impact.
