Summary
After graduating from Ege University with a degree in Chemical Engineering in 2008, I worked at two different aluminum coating plants under Kibar Holding until 2017 as a Senior Quality Control and Paint Technology Specialist. From October 2017 to December 2021, I worked as a Production Engineer in the Galvanized Coating Line at MMK Metallurgy, where I took on the role of Production Manager in my last year. Since April 2022, I have been working at ALBOND Aluminum as a Quality Control Manager, and I currently hold the position of Deputy Quality Control Manager.
I have a strong command of English and am always open to innovation and eager to learn new things. Throughout my career in the coil coatings industry, where I have worked for many years, I have provided training both within my company and to our customers. In addition to offering technical support before and after sales to domestic and international customers, I was also responsible for handling customer complaints. I have been involved in the development of new products with our domestic and international suppliers, as well as their production line applications and supplier audits. Moreover, I have managed certification audits for ISO 9001, TBW (Dubai), CSTB (France), BBA (UK), ITW (Poland), and DIT (Spain).
In my personal life, I have a keen interest in traveling, visual arts such as cinema and theater, chess, and sports. I am a member of the Chamber of Chemical Engineers, a Congress Member of Fenerbahçe Sports Club, a Board Member of the Fenerbahçe Businessmen’s Association and Foundation, and a member of Okan University’s Clinical Research Ethics Committee.
I would be happy to discuss my qualifications in more detail if needed. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
