In my final school term, I took on the project management role for three months at a newly established textile company, where I was responsible for overseeing and tracking manufacturing processes. I had the opportunity to gain a practical experience in every steps of manufacturing such as; welding, and assembly processes.

We prepared for the Efficiency Challenge event, and I was part of the mechanical design team. I learned CAD using SolidWorks and gained practical experience in composite material production and traditional manufacturing methods.

In 2019, I attended a programming course. I learned basic algorithms and started codding with Python, where I learned to use open-source platforms like GitHub and Linux. I have been part of the training in basic web development, HTML, and game coding with Python.

As part of a volunteer course at my school, I worked to make science enjoyable for children through fun activities at TEGV (Educational Volunteers Foundation of Turkey). Throughout the semester, I supported the organization and planning of engaging and smooth-running events. For 14 weeks, we conducted different experiments each week to make the learning experience both educational and enjoyable.
