I am Selim. A passionate learner and problem solver at heart.

From a young age, I’ve been driven by curiosity and a relentless desire to learn. As a little boy, I would dive deep into understanding things to their core, never hesitating to fail—sometimes with a few bumps and bruises, like when I was determined to master riding a bike.

This spirit led me to be selected for a prominent Science School in Turkey as a boarding student, an experience that shaped my early years. Living away from home taught me the value of independence, friendship, and the power of networking—skills that became the foundation for my growth.

My journey spans Engineering, Science, and Business, where I’ve developed a unique ability to combine structured, systematic thinking with out-of-the-box ideas. I’m passionate about using AI and Machine Learning to tackle real-world challenges, particularly in logistics, where I’ve developed a ground-breaking methodology to forecast timing—a solution with the potential to transform efficiency across the industry.

Beyond work, giving back is core to who I am. I love empowering the next generation to see things with clarity and purpose, whether through mentorship or sharing knowledge. I’m also a hardworking, social person who enjoys languages, theatre, music, and dance. With a growing LinkedIn following and a budding YouTube channel, I aim to share my initiatives and learnings with a broader audience.

Ultimately, I’m here to consolidate my skills, transform ideas into successful businesses, and leave a meaningful impact on both the industry and society
