Murat ŞİMŞEK

With over 20 years of experience in smart card technologies and payment systems, I have developed deep expertise in EMV technology and chip-based banking cards. My specialization lies in the creation, management, and optimization of EMV profiles for credit, debit, and prepaid cards, ensuring seamless integration with banking systems while maintaining the highest security and compliance standards.

Throughout my career, I have played a pivotal role in driving innovation, efficiency, and security in bank card production technologies. Some of my key achievements include:

·Optimized EMV card personalization processes, ensuring 100% compliance with international security standards while improving operational efficiency.
·Reduced duplicate and faulty card shipments by 20% annually through an advanced validation system—achieving this while enhancing production speed.
·Increased production efficiency by 10% and reduced costs by consolidating distributed data, streamlining workflows, and improving system automation.
·Developed a real-time web-based production monitoring system, enabling production planning teams to improve scheduling efficiency by 25% through real-time machine tracking and automated shift planning.
·Designed and implemented customized EMV card profiles for banking clients, ensuring seamless integration with loyalty programs and other banking applications.

As a Six Sigma Green Belt-certified engineer, I have led multiple projects aimed at minimizing errors, optimizing production, and enhancing security in payment card manufacturing. My expertise extends beyond technical implementation; I have also successfully managed cross-functional teams and international collaborations, ensuring the successful delivery of complex EMV projects.

For the past two decades, I have been part of Thales, a global leader in security and payment solutions, where I gained extensive experience in working with complex payment ecosystems and leading multidisciplinary projects. Additionally, I have been actively involved in mentoring and training team members, fostering a culture of technical excellence.

Now, I am looking for a new challenge in a visionary company where I can leverage my deep expertise in EMV technology, chip-based banking cards, and payment systems to drive cutting-edge innovations. My goal is not just to refine existing technologies, but to be part of a team that is shaping the future of secure and efficient payment solutions.

I am eager to bring my technical leadership, problem-solving skills, and strategic vision to an organization committed to pushing the boundaries of payment technologies.
