Summary
From running companies to shipping AI.
Cem Koşmaz holds a BSc in Economics from Middle East Technical University (ODTÜ). Over 27+ years he founded and scaled businesses in telecom, food, and hospitality — with three successful exits — while serving as a board member and management consultant along the way.
His expertise sits at the intersection of technology and business: building robust organizational frameworks across IT, operations, and finance, implementing ERP systems, and leading companies from their earliest stages to mature enterprises.
In 2024 he turned his full attention to artificial intelligence. Under ComturkAI he has personally designed, coded, and deployed 14+ production AI systems from a single GPU server — and now helps corporate executives build AI themselves.
Today
What I do now
I help companies implement AI — not in theory, but in production. I'm not a technologist who lectures from slide decks; I'm an economist and serial entrepreneur, and my team and I build the systems ourselves — then help executive teams do the same.
What I build
Customer service platforms (87% automated resolution across WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, email), industrial computer vision (YOLOv11, SAM), predictive analytics (XGBoost + ARIMA), agentic applications, RAG knowledge systems, and image & video generation pipelines.
What I teach
Hands-on "AI Masterclass" workshops for C-level executives and corporate teams, where participants build a real, working AI application in a single session using "vibe coding" — natural language as the programming interface.
How I advise
Operations and AI consulting focused on efficiency, cost-cutting, and practical technology solutions — grounded in decades of having actually carried payroll, run franchises, and built infrastructure.
