Kaan Aldemir - Computer Engineer & Professional Portfolio

Objective

I'm Kaan Aldemir. I’m a Software/R&D engineer focused on self-hosting and networking. I ship Android apps and Python GUIs, then make them reachable and safe on real hardware. I studied at Namık Kemal University and I focused on networking and self-hosting safely. I own my on self-hosting solution that I find entertaining to augment and develop. I partner closely with product and speak in data.

Work Experience

HOMETECH R&D Department - Computer Engineer

Küçükçekmece/İstanbul - June 2024/Present

Fundus eye disease detection: Took the project from prototype to a working model, curated/cleaned the dataset, trained/evaluated models, and packaged an inference tool teammates can run without GPU expertise.
No-CLI training & inference GUI: Built a desktop app with parameter selection + tooltips, one-click training, and a separate Inference tab for model selection and predictions with heatmap overlays for interpretability.
Coordinated training mesh: Deployed a headscale (self-hosted Tailscale) mesh so lab/edge devices can join coordinated training.
Android: Developed Android applications for the Fundus Eye Disease Detection and National Roaming projects.

Megaprint - Document Translator

Esenyurt/İstanbul - November 2023/February 2024

Translated machine user manuals from English to Turkish, ensuring accuracy and technical clarity.

Projects

Fundus Disease Toolkit (GUI + Inference): Train retinal-disease models without CLI; parameter tooltips, one-click runs, Inference tab with heatmap overlays.
Private Mesh for ML Jobs (Headscale + Scripts): Headscale private network + SSH/Python scripts to enroll nodes, launch jobs, stream logs.
Personal Network Mesh (Headscale and Google Compute): Headscale runs on my VPS with OIDC login; gives all my devices a private mesh, punches through CGNAT, and lets the router act as an exit node.
Self-Hosted Personal Website: Static site on OpenWRT with VPS reverse proxy (CGNAT). Includes internal message panel and inline content editor.
Personal Cloud & Media (Raspberry Pi): Self-hosted Filebrowser Quantum Cloud + Jellyfin Media Server on a Pi
DLSS Override for All Games: GUI tool to enable DLSS overrides by editing NVIDIA config; backups and read-only safeguards included.
Custom Image Processing Tool: Custom contrast stretching from user defined values

Skills

Systems & Networking: Headless Linux, OpenWRT, Raspberry Pi, Headscale/Tailscale (private mesh, exit node), Cloudflare Zero Tunnel, Nginx reverse proxy, OIDC
Web and Nginx: PHP forms/admin panels, message handling, password-protected tools
Python: PyQt/Tkinter GUIs, OpenCV, image pre/post-processing, training/evaluation loops, heatmap/visualization
Android: UI, basic Jetpack, networking, packaging & release
Tooling & Practices: Git/GitHub, clear READMEs, lightweight CI habits
Languages: English C1, Turkish Native

Education
