About

I continued my education in Germany in order to closely follow developments in the global industrial landscape, observe different production approaches on-site, and improve my foreign language proficiency. During this period, I obtained the Deutsche Sprachprüfung für den Hochschulzugang (DSH-2) certificate, which qualified me for academic studies in Germany. I completed my bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering at Hochschule Ostwestfalen-Lippe University, located in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), and graduated in 2017 with a Bachelor of Engineering degree. I conducted my thesis at Linenbecker GmbH, where I analyzed the root causes and operational impacts of stock discrepancies between ERP and WMS systems. During my studies, I also participated in a student exchange program at Istanbul Technical University, where I gained different perspectives on the practical applications of industrial engineering. While studying at university, I worked part-time at Kazel Handels GmbH, gaining hands-on experience in financial operations, customer relations, and business processes. I began my professional career at Hermes Germany GmbH as a Planning and Logistics Engineer, where I was responsible for logistics planning, process monitoring, and improving operational efficiency. In Turkey, I worked at Saueressig as a Production Planning and Project Engineer, where I played an active role in the establishment of a new production facility, contributing to process standardization, capacity planning, and the development of organizational structures. Most recently, I worked at Meiser Izgara as an International Sales Specialist, managing international sales processes, technical quotations, project coordination, and logistics organization for steel grating and industrial construction projects, primarily for European clients. Through my experience across different industries and international environments, I have developed a strong analytical mindset, a focus on process improvement, and a results-oriented approach. With the disciplined work ethic I gained in Germany, I am committed to developing solutions that enhance efficiency and quality in production, planning, and operational processes.
