What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can apply data-driven process improvement and analytics in operations or supply chain, work collaboratively on impactful projects, and continue growing technical and leadership skills.

I am a junior Industrial Engineering student at Sabancı University with strong academic performance (CGPA 3.76) and minors in Finance and Business Analytics, supported by a 75% scholarship.

I have practical experience in after-sales value chain and sales-marketing operations at Toyota Türkiye, where I contributed to value stream mapping, process improvement, and used AI-based tools to document and streamline workflows.

I have leadership and community experience as a Campus Leader and Facilitator for Google Developer on Campus and as Program Leader in LİGEP, mentoring peers and junior developers while organizing events and fostering continuous learning.

My project work includes physics-informed machine learning to predict machining characteristics of metals, and I complement this with certifications in Python, data literacy, and AI, plus hands-on digital marketing and data analysis experience at a startup.
