About me

I was born and raised in Ankara. I am optimistic and curious, and I value honesty and open, respectful communication. Health, peace of mind, time and imagination matter to me. I am equally interested in science, art and technology, and I enjoy meeting new people and learning from different perspectives.

As the son of a mechanical engineer, I encountered mechanics and electronics at an early age. Understanding, investigating and designing systems — and developing ideas from different viewpoints — remain among the things I enjoy most.

My technical journey

I studied Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Çankaya University and completed the programme entirely in English. For my final-year project, I worked on an AI model for estimating three-dimensional human body poses.

In 2022, I completed an Erasmus+ internship at ElecSys France. I worked on the assembly, programming and testing of BMS assemblies for electric vehicles. The experience shaped my understanding of quality: it depends not only on personal care, but also on repeatable processes.

I later took on responsibilities in business development, cross-functional coordination, IT management and independent product development. Today I develop digital platforms, operate local AI systems and work on projects that bring hardware and software together.

How I work

I begin a project by clarifying the problem and its main constraints. I then establish an appropriate structure, document important decisions and verify the result through testing. AI-assisted tools accelerate implementation; evaluation and release approval remain my responsibility.

Volunteering

Since June 2026, I have served on the youth committee of the Çankaya Municipality Youth Centre and contributed to activities relating to local youth policy. The Youth AI Platform grew from observations made in this setting; it is an independent personal project and not an official initiative of Çankaya Municipality.

I am also a lifetime member of the TEMA Foundation. I have supported events in technology, higher education and German–Turkish community exchange as a volunteer.

My goal in Germany

Building a life and career in Europe has been a long-term goal. As a first step, I aim to establish a lasting professional path in Germany in systems engineering, technical product development or technical project coordination. In the longer term, I would like to build a technology company that creates practical value for people and acts responsibly towards nature and other living beings.

Outside work

Health and sport are part of my daily life. I enjoy motorsport, music, dance and festivals. Working on my 1998 BMW E36 320i combines my technical curiosity with a personal hobby. I also enjoy meeting people and regularly attend a range of events in Ankara and Çankaya.
