What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and collaboration in food engineering.

I am a dedicated food engineer with a Bachelor's Degree in Food Engineering from Izmir University of Economics. My academic journey has equipped me with analytical thinking skills and expertise in process optimization, particularly in industrial process management. I have a strong commitment to developing sustainable solutions and ensuring optimal efficiency in food handling and processing.

Currently, I serve as a Senior R&D Project Engineer at Manisa Celal Bayar University, where I provide consultancy and process management support for national and international R&D projects. My experience includes managing project execution, conducting technological research, and collaborating with various stakeholders to meet customer needs. I have also gained valuable insights through internships at major companies like BAYER and BASF, contributing to my well-rounded understanding of the food engineering field.

In addition to my technical skills, I am passionate about social responsibility and have actively participated in projects through my memberships in ROTARY and LIONS clubs. I believe in leveraging my leadership skills in dynamic environments to maximize business outcomes and drive innovation in the food industry.
