Summary
Celal Akçelik is a Senior Data Scientist based in Istanbul with 7 years of experience building production-ready ML solutions across retail, finance and aviation operations. He specializes in time series forecasting, optimization and NLP, and has delivered end-to-end systems—from OR-Tools scheduling and LP/score-based optimizers to LLM-assisted text classifiers and bilingual LLM-driven operational assistants. At Turkish Technology he deployed forecasting, speech-to-text subtitling, and API-driven optimization services that cut manual work and improved operational efficiency. Comfortable with both research-grade models and practical engineering, he bridges model development and scalable deployment using FastAPI, Flask and cloud services. An unusual strength is combining hierarchical text classification and shot-modeling with UX tools (Streamlit) to automate complex labeling workflows.
