AI Product Engineer İzmir · open to İstanbul

I build systems that perceive, decide, and ship.

I design LLM pipelines, decision engines, full-stack products and mobile apps, then take them to production. Municipal AI, productivity systems, industrial safety, sustainability tech: real domains, measured results.

Portrait of Tarık Deveci, AI Product Engineer.

About

I'm Tarık — an AI product engineer who actually ships. I don't stop at a notebook or a slide; I carry an idea through the model, the backend, the interface and the deploy until it's live and someone is using it. Fresh out of Software Engineering, I've already pushed a municipal AI call-center, a productivity OS, an explainable decision engine, a process-safety platform and my SAM3 thesis into production. Based in İzmir, open to İstanbul and remote — looking for the team to build the next one with.

RESEARCH · SHIPPED TO PRODUCTION

DetectIQ: a SAM3 fine-tune for structural damage, from thesis to a live product.

My capstone fine-tunes Meta's SAM3 segmentation foundation model with LoRA to segment bridge and infrastructure damage — cracks, corrosion, spalling and 16 other classes — at the pixel level, on the DACL10K dataset. I trained just 0.25% of its 842M parameters, then shipped the model behind a FastAPI + React inspection platform: upload a photo, get back a colored damage mask with per-class coverage.

0.56mean validation IoU across 19 classes
0.81peak class IoU · 8 of 19 above 0.60

  • SAM3 base, LoRA adapters on the attention projections (q_proj / v_proj), ~8MB adapter
  • 10 epochs on an A100 with a combined BCE + Dice loss; best validation loss 0.27
  • Served through a swappable detector seam — mock or the real model via a one-line config flag
