An introduction · 3 min read

" I'm Irem — a Computer Science student building full-stack apps, AI tools, and Unity games. I'd rather ship one weird, working thing than describe ten polished ideas."

At twenty, I'm halfway through a B.S. in Computer Science at North American University, splitting my time between the CS Department where I work as a student, the Art Club I run as president, and the side of my desk where I keep breaking and rebuilding side projects.

My work lives in the overlap between full-stack engineering, AI, and game development: a Chrome extension that watches YouTube with you, a Unity horror game that listens for your noise, an AI study planner that summarizes your notes before your exam.

I'm currently looking for a Summer 2026 internship in full-stack development, game development, or AI engineering. If you read to the end, you'll know exactly what you're getting.
