Hello, world! 👋

Typing SVG

I’m Özge Çinko. My name means unique and special, and my surname means zinc. So, I guess I come with built-in chemistry. 👩🏼‍💻

I'm currently an AI Engineer at ING, working around agentic AI. Before that, I spent two years as an AI Research Engineer at Huawei, where I focused on research-driven AI systems, including recommender systems. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering from Sakarya University.

For me, engineering is a creative craft: a way of turning thoughts, emotions, and curiosity into experiences. I care about building technology that feels more purposeful, more human, and more alive.

I love researching, building, learning, and exploring because they make me feel alive in the deepest way. I also love expressing myself through writing, speaking, and meaningful conversations, often inspired by art along the way.

Whether I'm sharing ideas at events, writing on Medium, or building projects on GitHub and Kaggle, I try to leave pieces of myself in everything I create.

✍️ Writing

Most of my writing lives on Medium, where I turn real problems into clear, practical walkthroughs. Some topics I write about:

  • 🔬 How Shazam Identifies Songs in 5 Seconds
  • 🧠 Designing Memory for AI Applications

🌍 Open Source & Community

I care about communities that make technology more welcoming, creative, and accessible.

  • 🇹🇷 PyLadies Istanbul Co-organizer
  • 🚀 PyTorch Docathon 2026 — my first open-source contribution
  • 🎤 Speaker at Python, data, and AI events
