About

I graduated from Gazi University with High Honors in Chemical Engineering, where the program was conducted entirely in English. During my undergraduate studies, I completed a double major in Industrial Engineering, strengthening my expertise in process analysis, optimization, and systems thinking. I also studied Business Administration at Anadolu University to complement my engineering background with business and management knowledge. Throughout my academic and professional career, I have continuously invested in my development by participating in technical training programs, industrial R&D projects, and multidisciplinary engineering initiatives. As a Process Development Engineer, I focus on process design and optimization, energy efficiency, and industrial digital transformation. My responsibilities include developing and updating production recipes, process parameters, and operating conditions for both new and existing products. I support new product development by planning and executing production trials while providing process engineering expertise for R&D activities. I am also involved in designing new production lines and process layouts, preparing process documentation and engineering standards, monitoring production performance, and implementing continuous improvement initiatives. In addition, I work on integrating new technologies, production equipment, automation systems, and digital solutions into manufacturing processes. By leveraging artificial intelligence, computer vision, and data analytics, I contribute to improving production monitoring, process control, and product quality while supporting sustainable and data-driven manufacturing.
