• I have been volunteering in a TÜBİTAK project, actively participating in brainstorming sessions and developing designs according to the needs of our team and supervisor to contribute to the progress of the project.
• Our project involves designing glasses for Myasthenia Gravis disease. By generating innovative ideas in glasses design and contributing to the project's development, I provide support to my team and supervisor.

During my academic journey, as a member of the Engineering and Software Community, I kept abreast of current developments in the industry and interacted with colleagues. Furthermore, by participating in various events, I had the opportunity to meet professionals in the field and share experiences. These communities and events not only enhanced my technical knowledge but also sharpened my social skills. These experiences extended beyond the confines of my academic studies, broadening the context within the field of engineering.

• The Highlight of my graduation project was leading a study in which we developed a system in the field of image processing and automation, utilizing infrared sensors. This system is designed to detect objects, halt the conveyor belt, and identify colors using Python's OpenCV library. Subsequently, it communicates the color information to an Arduino through serial communication. Based on the received data, the Arduino controls servo motors to place the product in its corresponding color bin. This innovative graduation project was honored as the best project, bringing pride to both myself and my team. The dedication and success demonstrated in this project have significantly enhanced my practical application skills in my engineering career.

I played a key role in fostering social interaction among the youth population of Abana by founding the Abana Youth Community, leading and collaborating within the organization for its growth. I increased youth engagement through event planning and organization, facilitated community outreach through social media, and optimized budget management to minimize costs.
