Summary
Kaan Uğurlar is an AI Team Lead based in Istanbul with 8 years of experience building production-grade machine learning and computer vision systems across biometrics, agriculture, and digital marketing. He has led teams to deliver high-accuracy face recognition and liveness models (99%+ accuracy) that cut fraud and manual review dramatically, and built complex multi-agent marketing chatbots and VLMs using RAG, LangGraph and Sagemaker. His work spans end-to-end pipelines from drone data collection and hyperspectral imaging for crop disease detection to deploying lightweight models for mobile KYC and anti-spoofing. Kaan combines hands-on model research (VAEs, GANs for anomaly detection) with pragmatic engineering—creating drag-and-drop training tools, robust inference endpoints, and automated AI insight reporting. He holds an MSc in Advanced Computer Science (Distinction) and brings a rare mix of field data collection experience and deep learning deployment expertise. Colleagues describe him as an engineer who turns novel research into reliable, measurable product impact.
