Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolUğurkan Ateş is a software engineer with 10 years’ experience blending systems-level C++/embedded work and cutting-edge deep reinforcement learning for vision-based robotics. He currently contributes to Microsoft Teams features (screen sharing, remote control, calling monitor and AI/Copilot integrations) while previously developing Sim2Real DRL policies for ABB robots at the University of Liège. His background spans embedded IoT and automotive autonomy (LIDAR, ROS, CAN) and production ML pipelines using PyTorch, YOLO and NVIDIA Jetson, giving him rare fluency across hardware, perception and cloud-connected applications. A co-founder of Reinforcement Learning Turkiye and an active technical writer, he pairs research-grade RL expertise with product-focused engineering. Colleagues describe him as a developer and daydreamer—equally at home tuning low-level drivers or iterating simulation-to-robot transfer.
