Gokhan Ceylan
Computer Scientist: AI, HCI & Full-Stack Development
I graduated 110/110 cum laude from Sapienza University of Rome and publish first-author research on speech-driven human-computer interaction. Off the page, I build fast: full-stack apps, blockchain products, and applied AI systems. I’ve attended 80+ international hackathons along the way.
It's not who I am underneath, it's what I do that defines me.
A research seat in Rome, 80+ hackathon stages worldwide. I work across full-stack development, blockchain products, mobile apps, and applied AI/LLM systems, always building for the people the defaults leave out.

Developer & Thesis Researcher, Gamification Lab
Sapienza University of Rome, under Prof. Emanuele Panizzi
Building an offline, multilingual speech-driven semantic input module for NavIndoor, Sapienza's campus indoor-navigation app. International students routinely mispronounce or mis-transcribe Italian room names, and basement floors kill Wi-Fi and cellular signal alike. So the module runs entirely on-device, normalizing spoken queries with phonetic correction and fuzzy matching against a 243-room repository across four campus buildings. I also built the app's search interface in Flutter, and designed and shipped the project's public-facing bilingual (EN/IT) marketing website.
A Multilingual Speech-Driven Semantic Input Module for University Indoor Wayfinding
An offline speech-driven semantic input module for indoor navigation at Sapienza University of Rome, built to resolve Italian room names that standard speech-to-text systems and non-native speakers both struggle with. It runs entirely on-device, with no cloud dependency. Evaluated on 150 spoken queries: 92% top-candidate accuracy, resolving in 8.0ms on consumer mobile hardware.
