01About

Where hardware meets firmware.

I’m an electrical and electronics engineer who works across hardware design and embedded software. At ASPİLSAN Energy I worked on the Battery Management System and 5.1 kWh battery pack for ASELSAN’s DERİNGÖZ program, and took our boards through MIL-STD-461 and MIL-STD-810 qualification testing.

Today I design high-speed NVIDIA Jetson carrier boards at Özdilek and write FreeRTOS firmware on ESP32 for IoT projects. I’m also pursuing a master’s degree at Bursa Uludağ University; our paper on DC-DC converter control was published in a Q1 journal (Biomimetics).

What I enjoy most is taking a board from schematic through prototype testing to production. Defense and mission-critical electronics are at the core of my interests.
