I studied at Izmir Bornova Yunus Emre Anatolian High School between 2004-2008. Then, I studied Computer Engineering with a scholarship in
Izmir University of Economics. I spent my first year in the preparatory program. During my study, I worked as a freelancer in
Netsis around 3 years in different web-development projects. After my graduation I got an offer from
Accenture that is one of the largest consultancy company in the world. I worked in a correspondent bank application for
Is Bank that is one of the largest bank in Turkey. After 1,5 years software product development in Finance and Banking field, I realized that it would be a great idea to work on more challenging industries which include artificial intelligence, machine vision and robotics. I checked multiple master programs and finally got a scholarship from European Education and Culture Executive Agency for International Program in
Vision and robotics. I attended the
University of Burgundy in France,
Girona University in Spain and
Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh. During the admission process for the master's degree, I had no problems thanks to the fact that the language of instruction at our university is English and the course content is compatible with the Bologna process. In addition to the departmental courses, I think that the second foreign language education provided at our university is also very useful. At the end of the four years, the certificate you receive by taking the exam in the relevant language and knowing that language will take you one step further in business life and you will have learned a second foreign language. In addition, thanks to the elective courses outside the department, you can take courses from disciplines such as economics, psychology and sociology and expand your horizons even more. You will have the chance to apply the theoretical courses you have taken during your academic education in laboratories. The quality of the teaching staff and the balanced provision of the curriculum of hardware and software will be another advantage for you. In addition, hosting the Global Game Jam (GGJ) event for the first time in Izmir and continuing to be a pioneer in this regard and including options such as computer games and web engineering are another plus. Considering these facts, I recommend the Izmir University of Economics Computer Engineering Undergraduate Program to anyone considering a career in computer science in the future. After my master, I accepted a software engineering position in
ADASENS Automotive GmbH which was located in Lindau, Germany and subsidiary of
FICOSA that is an automotive global supplier, partner to all automakers worldwide. I implemented an algorithm for
Online Calibration for Rear-view Camera System and got a
patent for it. This product was designed and developed as level 1/2 system and used in 2019 Audi e-Tron vehicles. After that I had another offer from
APTIV Services Deutschland GmbH and worked as an experienced software engineer in level 3/4
Highway-Pilot System for 2021 BMW iX vehicles. Then, I worked as a team leader and a senior software engineer in
Dekimo that is an independent electronics solution provider in Europe. My focus in the company was giving consultancy service for the
Root of Trust RT-130 software product of
Rambus to facilitate code safety, security, portability and reliability in the context of embedded systems. Currently, I am working as a senior software engineer in
Volue that is a leading technology supplier and enabler of the green transition. Our solutions optimise energy production, trading, distribution and consumption, as well as infrastructure and construction projects. My current focus is implementing secure communication layers, integrating APIs, developing and testing software features, maintaining systems, and documenting architectures for scalable solutions.I remember my years at Izmir University of Economics fondly and recommend it to those who want to study the Computer/Software Engineering Undergraduate Program.
