Assistant Software Developer, Sabanci University (Undergraduate Project Course support)
Assisted a professor with an undergraduate project course by developing APIs and scripts to collect image data from Instagram for academic research. The work supported downstream annotation by gathering the 30k-image dataset intended to be labeled by students. The role focused on data acquisition rather than performing the annotations directly. • Built Instagram API-based scripts for image data collection. • Supported a course pipeline where students completed labeling tasks. • Coordinated data collection needs with the project lead. • Managed dataset preparation for subsequent labeling by 46 freshmen.
