What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities to share my expertise and mentor others in the aviation field.

With nearly 24 years of experience as a jet engine technician, I have dedicated my career to ensuring the safety and performance of aircraft engines. My journey began with a solid educational foundation in vehicle engines, which I complemented with extensive hands-on training in the Turkish Armed Forces. I have worked on various aircraft, including F4, F5, and F16, mastering the intricacies of their respective engines.

Throughout my military service, I have held several positions, progressing from Sergeant to Chief Master Sergeant, where I honed my technical skills and leadership abilities. I am passionate about teamwork and thrive in collaborative environments, valuing discipline and timing as essential components of my work ethic. As I approach retirement, I reflect on my career with pride, eager to pass on my knowledge and experience to the next generation of technicians.
