— 01 / My Story

My Story.

I graduated from Celal Bayar University, Department of Mechanical Engineering in 2022. Before that, I completed my associate degree in Mechanical Engineering, Drawing and Construction at Ege University. Throughout my education, I completed internships in CNC machining, CAD/CAM software, and production processes to put my theoretical knowledge into practice.

I had my first professional experience in 2018 as a Machining and Programming Engineer at Key Metal Endüstri. I managed the machining processes of mechanical parts used in the automotive, aerospace, and defense industries. I worked with TopSolid CAD/CAM, 3 and 5-axis CNC machines.

From 2020 to 2022, I served as Design and Project Engineer at GEMPOL. I designed industrial machinery and fixtures for wind turbine blade manufacturers (Nordex, Enercon, Vestas, TPI) and automotive companies (CMS, Maxion, Cevher). I deepened my expertise in Solidworks, AutoCAD, and FEA simulations.

Since October 2022, I have been working at Gates Corporation. I served first as Machining Process Engineer, then as Machining Process Supervisor since July 2025. I have led installation and commissioning work at Gates factories in Germany and the Czech Republic. I manage monthly tooling consumption of €2,240 and approximately €7,000 worth of inventory. I have achieved concrete results such as a 7% performance increase and reducing scrap rate from 4% to 1%.

I continue my professional development with IATF 16949, Automotive Core Tools, Global 8D, ISO 50001, and Reverse FMEA certifications.
