About Me

I collaborate with a team of four skilled developers and two exceptional analysts. Our primary responsibility involves overseeing a significant project named 'FAAL,' which encompasses multiple integrations with various systems, including the Turkish Aviation Academy Website, Learning Management System, Online Exam System, and SAP.
Prior to joining Turkish Technology, I worked as a software developer for 'Ulusal Yönetim ve Danışmanlık,' a consultancy company, where I had the privilege of assisting companies in the development of their desired projects.
I have a true passion for my work and am always eager to connect with fellow software developers and business analysts. While I find all aspects of my job enjoyable, my favorite stage of a project is collaborating with the client or business unit leader to understand their business objectives. Through this collaborative process, ideas start to flow, and that's where the real fun begins.
I earned both my Master's Degree in Computer Engineering and my Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science from Istanbul Kültür University.

Master Thesis: New Contouring Approach Based on Virtual Planes in Computer Aided Virtual Sculpting System
In this study, it has been proposed an alternative model for traditional virtual sculpting implementation methods and implementation is made. The complexity of algorithm and consuming of the system resources are determinative for the free-form representation of solid models in computer environments. Rapidly and accurately creation of the contour data is an important problem for the re-creation of solid model after sculpting process. In this study, contour sub-components -which are created by using "virtual plane" instead of a set of rays- are stored in a dynamic data structure. In these calculations, normal and targent vectors are also produced to be used in the next steps of solid modeling. Ability of solving known sample problems and advantages in comparison with actual approaches with regard to performance values of study are shown. In the implementation of the system, .Net C# programming language and OpenGL graphics libraries are used.
