Summary

Computer‑vision & ML researcher–engineer with reproducible public work: Can has multiple open-source repositories and Medium/TowardsDataScience pieces on image captioning, video instance segmentation (TT‑SPN), and neural optimizer implementations. These repos and articles show hands-on research-to-code strengths in vision, sequence modelling, and reproducible experiments. github+2
Web3 founder/operator and product builder: As co‑founder and earlier CEO of Finceptor, Can led product strategy, fundraising and community-facing activities (Finceptor pre-seed announcement and KuCoin AMA), and later transitioned to board leadership while founding Tachyo, an AI product. substack+2
Technical communicator and educator: Can publishes tutorial and research-expository articles (e.g., neural-optimizer from-scratch, image-captioning writeups) to medium/TDS and maintains public code, demonstrating an emphasis on teaching and documenting ML techniques for practitioners. medium+1
Practitioner of applied ML across domains: his work spans academic-style fMRI decoding projects to applied product work (AI wearables prototyping and an AI browser copilot), indicating an ability to move between research prototypes and product-focused engineering. github+1
