About Me

Born in 2002, I define myself not by limiting myself to a single field, but as an interdisciplinary-oriented engineering candidate passionate about merging mechanical design skills with the possibilities offered by software. I am currently a final-year student in the Manufacturing Engineering department at Gazi University. To solidify a strong foundation in the algorithmic aspects of engineering and to achieve hardware-software integration, I am simultaneously pursuing my education in Computer Programming at Istanbul University.

For me, engineering has never been just about theoretical formulas confined to paper. By actively utilizing the workshop and laboratory facilities of my department, I have placed design, manufacturing, and testing at the core of my education and professional development. Since April 2023, I have been conducting project-based and applied work at the Additive Manufacturing Laboratory of Gazi University. In my capacity as a student, I manage the operational aspects of 3D printers, optimize print slicing processes according to production demands, and analyze the mechanical strength of the parts we produce using tensile and impact testing machines.

This deep interest in additive manufacturing technologies forms the basis of my academic projects. While I am experimentally investigating the effects of the "ironing" parameter in 3D printers on part strength and surface roughness within the scope of TÜBİTAK 2209-B and BAP projects, my teammates and I are concurrently undertaking the mechanical design and prototyping of a cost-effective, high-volume 3D printer that directly uses granular raw materials as our graduation project. Previously, I served as team captain for the "KAIZEN SPY" spider robot project, designed for search and rescue missions at Teknofest 2023, and during my internship at AYGERSAN A.Ş., I analyzed plastic injection molding processes on-site and made observations regarding production efficiency.

Alongside all these physical production, design, and testing processes, I also enjoy being productive on the software side. I developed a software called MechForge, which consolidates the cross-section properties and strength calculations (based on fundamental resources like Timoshenko, Roark, Shigley, and TS EN standards) required by mechanical and manufacturing engineers during design into a single local desktop application. This project, which runs on a Python and PyQt6 infrastructure and offers 3D preview and PDF reporting capabilities, is now live and I am continuing its development.

I place great importance on continuous learning and sharing the technical vision I have acquired. I publish my academic projects, my work carried out with open-source tools (Git, GitHub), and my laboratory experiences through this personal website. In my spare time outside of the technical intensity of the engineering world, I greatly enjoy pursuing sharp, aesthetic, and technical photography with mirrorless camera systems, particularly Fujifilm X-Series cameras.
