Summary

I have a highly motivated, energetic, sincere and perfectionist personality structure. By sharing my knowledge and experiences, I aim to touch the lives of people around me and make positive changes. As part of my job, I had the chance to watch the processes (E2E) of many key industries. It makes me very proud in terms of engineering, especially to meet the product that I have been at any point of the production process outside of my business life. I gained most of my experience in the production field. However, as we work closely with different disciplines (Project-direct purchase industry management- Quality), I learned about the processes in general. I am experienced in the coordination and stakeholder management of teams in scope of area . In my future professional business life, I aim to work in innovative fields with a vision of developing technology.
