I’m a Telecommunications Engineer with an MSc and hands-on experience building Python-based automation frameworks and simulation platforms for satellite communication systems. I combine strong software engineering fundamentals with deep familiarity with the space environment, orbital mechanics, and GNSS.

At Fraunhofer IIS, I built Python OOP frameworks for satellite comms and IoT simulation on Linux, delivering production-ready modules for link-budget modeling, GNSS positioning, and 3GPP wireless algorithms. I also designed pytest-based CI/CD pipelines on GitLab for functional, regression, and performance suites—cutting manual validation overhead across a multi-team development cycle. Beyond development, I aggregated 10k+ telemetry samples per run and created structured monitoring metrics to pinpoint and resolve recurring performance bottlenecks.

Previously, at Baykar Technologies, I engineered UAV network and systems solutions across multiple hardware platforms, validating communication protocols under real-world RF constraints. Using Wireshark, I diagnosed and resolved 200+ Ethernet and network performance issues, optimizing throughput and latency for mission-critical distributed embedded systems on Linux. I also configured LAN/WAN, VLAN, DHCP, and NAC in Cisco-based environments for a fleet of UAV units.

I bring a research-and-delivery mindset: I contributed to an ESA-funded hybrid mega-constellations simulation platform and co-authored a peer-reviewed paper for an international satellite communications conference. I also expand my toolkit through projects like an AI-driven data pipeline platform, deploying local LLM capabilities and gaining practical DevOps experience with containerized services.
