What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters growth, collaboration, and innovation in project management.

I am a Computer Engineering graduate with a strong passion for project management, cloud computing, and software development. My career started with software-focused roles, including backend development using Java Spring and cloud deployment on AWS and Azure, which allowed me to build a solid technical foundation.

Currently, I work as a Project Management Assistant Specialist at Eczacıbaşı Bilişim, where I have contributed to high-impact initiatives such as a multinational Company Separation (Carve-Out) Project and a Data Center Feasibility Study. I’ve coordinated with diverse teams across network, security, and cloud infrastructure domains, gaining practical experience in Jira, risk management, and stakeholder reporting.

I also supported GenAI-based projects following Agile/Scrum methodologies, where I assisted the Scrum Master and collaborated with internal and external stakeholders, including AWS teams. Additionally, I took part in comparative evaluations of project management tools and actively contributed to service governance efforts through CSI tracking and monthly activity reports.

I enjoy working in dynamic, cross-functional teams and have a keen interest in DevOps, cloud-native architectures, and emerging AI applications. My goal is to combine my technical background and project coordination skills to deliver innovative, scalable solutions in international technology environments.
