Ali Kalender

I am a Computer Engineering student at Middle East Technical University, focused on cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning. My interests center around secure software systems, intelligent technologies, vulnerability analysis, software reliability, and real-world product development.

I currently work as a long-term intern at Tamsdata Software, contributing to Circudata, a Digital Product Passport platform focused on product traceability, sustainability data, and ESPR compliance. My role includes identifying security issues, conducting user tests, reporting bugs, researching regulatory requirements, and supporting product improvement from both technical and compliance-focused perspectives.

I am also the Co-Founder and Lead Software Engineer of Code Reality, a VR software development startup based at METU KALTEV. Code Reality works across different fields by developing immersive VR solutions that combine software engineering, interactive experiences, and emerging technologies.

My core interests lie at the intersection of cybersecurity, AI, software reliability, regulation, and immersive technologies. I enjoy working on projects that require analytical thinking, technical problem solving, and a strong understanding of how software behaves in real-world environments.
