Experiences and Skills; In general, my interests are focused on global trends and next-generation technologies. As part of my core expertise, I personally execute and oversee end-to-end product design and engineering processes, taking automotive components from initial concept to rigorous final testing. Recently, I have been deeply involved in vehicle lightweighting studies, replacing traditional steel components with advanced engineering materials and Aluminum 2xxx, 6xxx, and 7xxx series. Through these works, I have not only delivered substantial cost advantages but also proudly contributed to reducing carbon emissions in commercial vehicles. Beyond product design, my technical focus extends to specialized automotive machinery and advanced manufacturing. I design and implement high-precision custom equipment, ranging from hydraulic machining fixtures used in CNC lines to End-of-Line (EOL) quality checking machines and complex roll-forming machinery. I also closely supervise 3-axis & 5-axis CNC machining (CAM) processes to maximize production efficiency. To support these advanced manufacturing and component design processes, I have successfully executed numerous engineering projects involving complex metallurgy and heat treatment applications. I possess deep technical expertise in managing and implementing tailored heat treatment cycles, specifically through-hardening (core heat treatment), tempering, nitriding, and induction hardening processes to optimize the mechanical properties, wear resistance, and durability of critical automotive parts. Furthermore, we drive digital transformation by developing Industry 4.0 projects with Microsoft HoloLens 2. In these immersive studies, we create interactive assembly and occupational work safety (EHS) modules directly for the production floor. Another major interest of mine is 3D printing; I conduct active research and application studies on both metal and plastic additive manufacturing products and materials. In short, my ultimate goal is to spearhead new innovations in a constantly evolving technological landscape. In addition to leading research and technical design projects, I actively manage, inspire and guide my engineering support team to bring these innovations to life.
**V710 Integrated Rear Cargo Door Hinge ** Retractable Electrical Step Project for Commercial Vehicles ** Detachable and Fixed Tow Bar Systems Project for Commercial Vehicles **2ndGen & 3rdGen Advanced High-Strength Steel (AHSS) Investigation Project In this study, the mechanical properties of high elongation austenitic stainless steel 304 (X5CrNi18-10), galvanized steel DX54D + Z and high manganese steel TWIP950 and TBF after rolling were compared. From the section of the rollform process; tensile samples from three different regions; hems, bend and straight. According to the tensile test results of the prepared samples, the strength and elongation values of the materials in different forms were compared. In order to see the effect of the rollform process on the material, the hardness values and microstructure were examined. Design forms suitable for TWIP and TBF materials were determined. **Research project of the effect of the combination of 6xxx series aluminium and stainless steel materials on galvanic corrosion (Ford V362 Aluminium Hinge Project) The tendency to give electrons of stainless steels is galvanically corroded if less than metal. When used together with aluminium material, galvanic corrosion is expected to occur because they are far away from each other in the galvanic series. In this case, stainless steel is expected to corrode the aluminium material. Depending on the chromium content of stainless steels, the potential difference between aluminium in the galvanic series can be increased. In this study, galvanic and pit corrosion formation of X5CrNi18-10 (304) and X5CrNiMo17-12-2 (316) stainless steels with aluminium material were investigated. According to the results of the salt spray test, the interaction of the stainless-steel quality with aluminium was observed.
**Industry 4.0 Ford Global Project With this project, we became the first company in Turkey that use Microsoft Hololens2. I supported our work as a leader in both idea and project management. In this study, we developed all 8D datas by using Hololens2 in augmented reality environment. We also made a system that allows opening 3D data while displaying 8D data. In addition, this work was a project nominated by osd in the field of best technology development. **3D Printer Eos—Arburg—Hp studies We have done many product studies with EOS, ARBURG and HP printers in 3d printer works. In particular, we analyzed and tested Ford V363 front door hinges in braided structure with the EOS metal printer. Our study is one of the rare works which is used to little-known dynamic product in the wold . In addition to these, we are working on filament material development. **Aluminum mechanism projects (Ford) I worked all the parts in the metal upper mechanism group in the Ford transit v363 vehicle as hot forged aluminum. My most important goals in this study were to realize lightness, simplyfy of process and a unique design for aluminum. **IOT Project with my electronic team, we are working on the project of collecting and monitoring test center data with remote access. In addition to this project, we are working on a system that can measure soil moisture, Raindrops amount, leaf moisture, irrigation system, wind direction, which is important in agricultural activities, and instantly displays—reports them from distance.
**Materoll Project (localization studies) It is project (with my work) that I have worked on to produce rollers in the mechanisms of commercial vehicle sliding door systems in our own factory. Localization of the imported lauramide product, which is the only producer (handtmann) in the market, by creating a brand ( Materoll) value. Materoll product was sold to VW company as a serial product. Negotiations continue with Ford, Gazelle and Force Motors companies regarding the application of material product in serial products. Deep knowledge of plastic materials and their field of usage and also mechanical components and sustainability studies. **Aluminum Hinge Project (Lightweight Studies) In the existing Cord Transit (V362) rear door hinge group, aluminum 6013 series was used instead of steel, and system was lightened by 67% and passed the product validation tests. as a result of My project and study it contributed to the use of aluminum material in two vehicles in mass production in aston martin ( AM534-AM800 DBX SUV-Lagonda) and to the negotiations for its application in Ford new vehicle projects. **Ford V710 (180 degree Hinge)—Arrival Electric Vehicle (270 degree Hinge) I designed the systems that are separated and single axis in the current system in a single package with my work. I developed a rear cargo door hinge that works at 0,90,180 degrees. With this my study, the company received technical feasibility approval for the V710 180 degree RCDH project. The acceptance of this study as a reference was very effective in the acquisition of the ARRIVAL project. Generally My design team supported me in these work.
As the engineering department manager of TOFAŞ-FIAT AND RENAULT Projects, I took part in the planning of technical studies of this team, design, analysis and evaluation of tests.
I managed the design, analysis, test, cost analysis and get prepared processes of series and special machine projects to main customers as TOFAŞ, RENAULT, BOSCH, TÜRK TRAKTÖR, TEKNOROT.
I have been in projects of companies such as AGCO, NEW HOLLAND, VALTRA, MASSEY FERGUSON. I made new product studies and sample product trials in order to get mass production approvals. In this process, I followed and organized design, technical drawing and all other processes.I also worked on FMEA and APQP in method engineering. I followed the mold making steps by arranging all of the mold stages in molding department. In addition, I made all purchases of the mold department. I worked on sheet metal mold (punching, cutting, form etc. mold designs) and fixture designs.
