Hi, I'm Özgür

I finished two master's programs at TUM on AI and its effects, and wrote my thesis on how AI both creates and catches fake news. Now I build my own apps with similar tools, and I collect what I make and write here. The question in my head is still the same: if these tools are changing what we believe and how we think, what will the future look like?

Recent projects

All the apps

The projects I've built so far. Each one started from a real need or a bit of curiosity; some are live, some I'm still working on.

5 Things 231 new videos are uploaded to YouTube every second. In the time it took to read that sentence, about 700 more went up. The archive holds 14.8 billion videos — just clicking each would take roughly 469 years. You can't fight that flood alone. So here I share only 5 things a day: things I've actually read, watched or listened to, from the back garden of history or the past few days. What's on today?

Coming soon

I wrote my thesis on AI-generated fake news and its detection. Generative models move faster than the systems built to catch them — I focused on how this gap shapes trust online.
