What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and allows me to work on cutting-edge technologies in autonomous systems.

I am a passionate Mathematical Engineering student with a strong foundation in software development, particularly in the field of autonomous driving. My journey began at Yildiz Technical University, where I honed my skills in programming languages such as C++ and Python, applying them to robotics and perception systems. My experience as a Junior Autonomous Driving Software Developer at Leo Drive allowed me to work on innovative mapping solutions utilizing LiDAR and GNSS/INS sensors, enhancing environmental visualization through advanced color mapping techniques.

Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to pushing the boundaries of technology. I successfully developed high-definition maps using Lanelet2 and implemented dynamic loading for real-time applications. My commitment to data privacy was demonstrated when I created an offline anonymization tool to ensure compliance with GDPR in camera-based perception systems. Additionally, my involvement in university competitions, where I achieved notable awards, reflects my drive for innovation and excellence in the field.
