About Me
My life has been shaped by learning. I describe myself as a problem-solver who seeks to go deeper into every field I engage with. If there is a problem, there must also be a solution.
With this mindset, I have successfully completed numerous trainings and assignments, worked with leading experts in their fields, and collaborated with distinguished universities and companies.


Career
Consulting/Training/Mentoring Services
Freelance
2024-2025
I provide part-time engineering consultancy services and deliver training on FPV drone simulators and aircraft engines. I also help students improve their spoken English through practical conversation sessions while offering one-to-one mentorship to support young people in their career development.
In addition, I produce mini UAVs using 3D printers and conduct related R&D activities.

In addition to my role as the e-commerce lead, I also took on responsibilities in different positions. I carried out initiatives aimed at increasing team efficiency and had the opportunity to work across many areas, from logistics to accounting. During this period, I significantly developed my management consulting skills. After returning to Turkiye, I continued to provide support as a remote e-commerce consultant.
Ni-based Single-Crystal Superalloy Researcher, Teaching Assistant
University of Oxford, Department of Engineering Science
2020-2023
I carried out my MSc by Research project on the yield anomaly of nickel-based single-crystal superalloys with material support from Siemens Energy. I gained extensive experience in designing and conducting experiments under high-temperature conditions. I specialized in surface characterization techniques such as scanning electron microscopy, optical profilometry, and similar methods; additionally, I designed and performed experiments inside an electron microscope. Alongside this, I worked as a teaching assistant in the Departments of Materials and Engineering Science at the University of Oxford, supporting students in courses such as Materials Laboratory, Mechanical CAD, Turbomachinery CAD, and Drawing & Design. Moreover, I participated in the University of Oxford’s applied Researcher Strategy Consultancy training, where I gained hands-on experience as a strategy consultant.
Rolls-Royce UTC Project, Master of Science
Cranfield University, Centre for Propulsion and Thermal Power
2018-2019
I graduated with distinction. I completed courses in Turbomachinery Mechanical Design, Turbomachinery and Blade Cooling, Gas Turbine Performance Simulation and Maintenance, Combustion Chambers, Engine Systems, Propulsion Systems Performance and Integration, Technology Management, and Computational Fluid Dynamics. I carried out my thesis in collaboration with Rolls-Royce plc and presented my findings to senior engineers at the company.
R&D and Propulsion Systems Unit Head
Fasumer Tech Ltd.
2025-2026
I joined the company as an engineer and was promoted within a short period to team leader and subsequently unit leader positions. In a fast-paced startup environment, I took responsibilities across a wide range of projects, working in areas including R&D and systems engineering. This experience gave me the opportunity to closely observe the growth of a rapidly scaling technology startup and directly witness the operational impact of strategic and managerial decisions.
Is that all?
Of course not. What you see here is only a short summary. There are many more experiences, certifications, and trainings I haven’t listed. For more details, please visit my LinkedIn profile.
