About
From Curiosity to Engineering
From a little kid who liked building LEGO models to an engineer designing ships, my career path has been shaped by curiosity and a passion for solving problems.
That same enthusiasm has carried me through Istanbul Technical University, where I studied Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, the ATHENS Program at KU Leuven, and professional experience in the defense industry as a Design Engineer. Today, it continues as I pursue an MEng in Mechanical Engineering at UC Berkeley with a Fulbright Scholarship.
