Professional overview
One practice, several serious disciplines
The work spans conventional conference interpretation, remote simultaneous interpretation, AI-assisted multilingual systems, international event moderation, etymology, software, training, and cultural commentary.
I am an accomplished conference interpreter, translator, linguist, and etymologist with over 20 years of experience working at the highest international level. I have had the honor of interpreting at prestigious global platforms such as the United Nations General Assembly, the European Parliament, and the Islamic Summit. I also participated as an interpreter in 10 UNFCCC COPs, contributing to seamless communication in complex international negotiations. As the coordinating interpreter for landmark events like the G20 Antalya Summit and the 13th Islamic Summit, I have demonstrated my ability to lead teams and ensure flawless communication in critical settings. My expertise as a linguist and etymologist, combined with an academic background in English and Medieval European History from Bilkent University, enables me to approach language with both scholarly precision and professional excellence, ensuring effective communication across diverse linguistic and cultural landscapes.

Language technology
RSI, AI, and hybrid multilingual systems
Hybrid does not mean replacing professional judgement. In sensitive multilingual settings, human expertise remains central while AI tools, subtitle systems, audio routing, and audience devices are designed around accuracy, latency, confidentiality, and usability.
Workflow
Human and technical architecture
On-site interpreters, remote interpreters, AI speech recognition, subtitle display, multilingual audio channels, video platforms, and audience delivery can be combined into carefully planned event workflows.
Quality
Accuracy, terminology, and latency
AI-assisted systems must be evaluated through language quality, domain adaptation, Turkish performance, display control, AV integration, and human oversight.
Ongoing project
Etymological Dictionary of the Turkish Language
A research project devoted to the historical, semantic, phonetic, and cultural development of Turkish words. Publication details and sample entries will be added only when verified and ready.

Musical Projects
Author, Curator and Producer
From artistic concept to the stage
I develop original musical projects as an author, curator and producer, bringing together artistic research, cultural context, dramaturgy, artist relations and production planning.
My work begins with the central idea of a project: what it seeks to say, why it should exist and how its artistic language can remain coherent from the first concept to the final performance.
The objective is not simply to place recognised artists on the same stage. It is to create a meaningful structure in which distinct musical voices can meet, retain their individual character and contribute to a larger artistic whole.
Author
Developing the central proposition, thematic framework, narrative structure and public language of a musical project.
This work may include concept writing, programme narratives, dramaturgical development, performance structure, scripts, introductory texts and the intellectual framework that gives the production its identity.
Curator
Bringing together artists, instruments, repertories and musical traditions through a considered artistic rationale.
Curatorial work involves more than selecting names. It requires attention to cultural context, musical balance, artistic integrity, representation and the relationships that can be created among distinct artistic languages.
Producer
Translating the artistic concept into a coherent and deliverable production.
This includes artist engagement, schedules, rehearsals, rights, contractual coordination, production planning, stage requirements, audiovisual integration, institutional communication and the practical structure required to bring the work before an audience.
Musical collaboration should not require artists to surrender what makes their work distinctive. A coherent production can hold different traditions together without reducing them to a single, standardised language.
