Hi Product Hunters — A research engineer with a PhD turned product builder

Hi Product Hunt!

 

I'm Baris. I finished my PhD in Computer Engineering last year and currently work as a Senior Research Engineer in Istanbul, T rkiye. My background spans networking, systems, and machine learning including deep reinforcement learning which led to publications, citations, and eventually a UK Global Talent Visa as an Exceptional Talent.

What are the 5 tools you simply couldn't do your work without?

This could be related to your industry, or even a side project you're working on.

Here are my 5 (I couldn't function without them):

  1. Grammarly proofreading my texts, not just posts, but also client communication

  2. ChatGPT / Claude mostly brainstorming, help with copy, and summarising

  3. Figma I can put the basic graphics together quickly.

  4. Translator sounds incredibly old-school, but English is not my mother tongue

  5. Gmail and not only for communication, but also for storing ideas and sending myself email reminders for posts
