About

I'm an electrical & electronics engineering student at Koç University — working across control, embedded systems and digital communications.

I'm currently interning at Kale Jet Motorları on simulation and reliability for engine control systems, with project work spanning safety-critical engine control, SDR communications and computer vision. I'm headed toward aerospace and defense engineering. Understanding how something works isn't enough for me — I don't stop until I've turned it into a working system.

Off the field — literally: I've played three seasons with Koç University's American football team. Read the story →
