About
Engineering profile
I am a full-scholarship Mechanical Engineering student at Cankaya University, having completed my undergraduate coursework in 3.5 years with a GPA of 3.48/4.00 and ranked 2nd among 105 students in my department. Upon completion of my mandatory internship, I will have fulfilled my undergraduate graduation requirements.
My academic and internship experience covers production engineering, mechanical design, additive manufacturing, composite manufacturing, testing and validation, robotic systems, and data-driven engineering applications. I have gained hands-on exposure through Turkish Aerospace / TAI, TurkTraktor, INDES Engineering, and academic projects.
My career goal is to contribute to engineering teams working on aerospace, defense, manufacturing, production engineering, mechanical design, robotic systems, and advanced engineering applications.
