02 / About — field notes
Engineer, builder, systems thinker.
I'm Ömer Ulucan — a software engineer who builds at the intersection of AI, backend systems, and applied mathematics.
I care about systems that are correct, fast, and elegant. Most of my work involves designing infrastructure that handles real complexity — search systems that understand intent, data pipelines that scale without drama, and ML platforms that actually make it to production.
Before you see the polish, there are months of wrestling with trade-offs, reading papers, and writing code that nobody will ever see. That's the work I love most.
Lab — gradient descent
Drop a parameter. Watch it learn.
Click the loss surface. Each point follows downhill. Most settle into a local minimum; only one basin holds the global one.
