About

Ömer Aytug

I'm an MLOps Engineering student who enjoys building things and figuring out how they work.

My interests are mainly around machine learning, AI and infrastructure, but I like working across different areas rather than sticking to one part of the stack. I've worked on everything from forecasting and LLMs to cloud services and small hardware projects.

Before moving into MLOps, I worked in cybersecurity for a few years. That background still influences how I approach building and understanding systems.

Ticket Verifier

Licensed desktop application (PySide6) that I designed, built, and sold to a company in Turkey. It automates airline ticket processing: PDF/OCR parsing, vendor-agnostic LLM field extraction, exchange-rate-based billing, and automated airline booking verification with Playwright. Ships with offline signed licensing and signed auto-updates, with update delivery and patching infrastructure on AWS.
