Reading markets and macroeconomics through data — research that a central bank recognised, and a live analytics platform of my own.

Profile

I study Economics at Middle East Technical University in Ankara. My work sits where macro and financial economics meet quantitative methods — I use Python, R and SQL as instruments for economic questions, not as ends in themselves.

I care as much about what a result means economically as about the model behind it.

The Effect of Inflation Regimes and Household Borrowing on Social Welfare in Türkiye

Co-author · CBRT (TCMB) Undergraduate Article Competition, 2026

Defines Türkiye's inflation regimes for 2014–2024 — adapting the IMF inflation-shock algorithm to quarterly data and measuring uncertainty with a GARCH model — then traces their effect on household borrowing and welfare. Key finding: household debt/GDP falls ~40% after an inflation shock, with no significant link between the real interest rate and borrowing.
