What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an entry-level role where I can apply CAD/CAE tools (SolidWorks, ANSYS) and my composite lab experience to support R&D, analysis, and engineering delivery—while working with a team that values data, learning, and practical execution.

I’m a mechanical engineering student at Ataturk University, with a strong technical foundation built through coursework in Statics, Dynamics, Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer, and Structural Analysis. I bring a practical mindset to every assignment, backed by a 3.54/4.00 cumulative GPA and a drive to turn engineering theory into real outcomes.

In my Laboratory Assistant role at Ataturk University, I supported Polyester Matrix Composite Foam production and laboratory applications. I helped with mold preparation, curing operations, and manufacturing processes using laboratory ovens and composite fabrication equipment, gaining hands-on experience in composite materials and production techniques.

I also bring a business and data orientation from my work as a Marketing Manager at Gameflavor. I created and executed marketing plans aligned with sales goals, managed advertising campaigns and targeting, and monitored KPIs to adjust strategy using data insights.

Outside academics, I build adaptability and teamwork through experiences like volunteering with the European Solidarity Corps and serving as a DiscoverEU Ambassador across 8 countries. I’m certified in SOLIDWORKS CAD Design (CSWA) and trained in ANSYS Workbench analysis engineering, SolidCAM, and Agile foundations—so I’m ready to contribute to engineering and R&D-focused teams.
