AstroCom — Esat Akkaşoğlu & Ebubekir Şark
Astronomy · Applied AI · Games
Two portfolios under one sky: an AI engineer shipping production GenAI systems, and an astronomy educator taking the sky to 81 provinces.
Profiles
AstroCom programme
AstroCom is the community the two of us run together — a Discord-based, expert-supported network that turns into telescopes on pavements, curricula in classrooms and code in production.
AstroBot
A retrieval-augmented Discord assistant answering astronomy questions on a fine-tuned Gemini model — built by both of us, developed under the TÜBİTAK umbrella.
- Expert-labelled evaluation set, 8 months of retrieval iteration
- Domain-accurate answers grounded in a curated knowledge base
Türkiye Is Looking at the Sky
A simultaneous national observation day across all 81 provinces — conceived and organised by Ebubekir under the Türkiye Astronomy Coordination Network.
- Participation kits and organiser guides so local teams run it themselves
- Social campaign and provincial coordination designed in-house
Astronomy Teacher Seminars
Seventy-five teachers trained over six weeks at Rami Library with the Istanbul Provincial Directorate of National Education — curriculum and observation practice designed from scratch.
- Trainees carried the material straight into their own classrooms
- Extended into children's workshops at the Rami Summer School
Studio
Two shipped titles built in LÖVE — astronomy turned into systems you can play.
