Summary

I hold a degree in Industrial Engineering from Bahçeşehir University and a master’s degree in the same field from Yıldız Technical University, which enhanced my academic background. I have seven years of professional experience in the field.

My expertise focuses on project management, including return on investment (ROI) analyses, product and production planning, risk assessments, and comprehensive market and competitor research. Utilizing engineering principles, I have successfully applied descriptive, inferential, and predictive statistical methods to solve diverse challenges.

In addition to my project management experience, I have valuable knowledge in grant application procedures, particularly for funded projects such as Eureka and EU programs. I am keen to further expand my expertise in project management methodologies and eager to take on new responsibilities in this dynamic field.
