Merhaba!

Batu Aytemiz

I'm an Istanbul-based AI Engineer with a Ph.D. in Machine Learning and Games, and the founder of Base Game Lab, an AI game studio that builds tools for making games and ships its own.

I've spent close to a decade bridging research and production—at Ubisoft, Microsoft, and several Silicon Valley startups.
