AI practitioner · Industrial systems

Industrial intelligence,
built for the real world.

I'm Serdar Gündoğdu—an engineer and AI practitioner who turns complex industrial data into usable products, dependable machine learning systems, and faster decisions.

Career journey

One path, many engineering lenses.

I began my journey with the fundamentals of mechanics. Industrial engineering taught me to see systems through a multidisciplinary lens, while a master's degree in materials and manufacturing strengthened my research-led approach. As a production engineer and manager, I worked with lean flows, quality, Six Sigma, and leadership. I later combined that industrial foundation with data science, software, and cloud engineering to build AI products. Today I deliver projects with Claude and Codex as engineering partners while developing my skills in GPU kernel engineering.

    Now · Primary focus

    GPU Kernel Engineer — studying

    Developing the next layer of my engineering practice through GPU architecture, CUDA, Triton, profiling, and kernel optimization. In parallel, I am studying LoRA, QLoRA, dataset engineering, and evidence-aware evaluation through the Unsloth Studio Learning Atlas.

From physical systems

to governed intelligence

to decisions people can trust

Selected work

Products, systems, and tools that move beyond the demo.

A selection of industrial platforms and open-source tools shaped around real workflows—not isolated models.

How I work

Engineering discipline. AI-native pace.

I combine industrial context, statistical thinking, and modern AI development workflows to close the gap between an idea and a system people can actually use.

01

Frame the decision

Start with the operator, engineer, or business decision—not the model. Define the signal, constraint, and useful action.

02

Build the full loop

Connect data, analysis, APIs, interface, and feedback so the intelligence survives outside a notebook.

03

Make it operable

Design for traceability, human review, deployment constraints, and the realities of industrial environments.

Predictive analyticsTime seriesIndustrial data platformsApplied machine learningAI-assisted software delivery

Open lab

Tools for learning by doing.

Packages, platforms, and interactive experiments that make difficult concepts easier to explore.

About

I sit at the intersection of engineering, data, and product delivery.

My background spans statistics, mathematics, mechanical and industrial engineering. That mix helps me see AI as a complete operating system: the data foundation, the model, the interface, the deployment path, and the people making the final decision.

I use AI coding partners such as Codex, Claude Code, and Gemini as part of a disciplined development workflow—accelerating research and implementation while keeping architecture, validation, and accountability human-led.
