About

I am a mechanical engineer with experience across construction, infrastructure and mechanical systems projects. My work has taken me from engineering design and feasibility studies to hands-on site coordination and equipment operations on large-scale projects.

My experience includes MEP design, equipment management, and international HVAC and cold storage projects across Europe and Africa.

Alongside traditional engineering tools, I’m interested in using visualization and digital technologies to improve how mechanical systems are designed, communicated, and built.

While my professional career is focused on plant & equipment operations and MEP on large scale construction projects, I have a strong interest in architecture and design.

I believe great engineering isn't just functional — it's thoughtful, beautiful and worth looking at.

Architecture

Village House Renovation & Landscaping
Döşemealtı, Antalya — 2024

I am currently developing the architectural expansion and landscape design of a village house located in Döşemealtı, Antalya. The project centers on a productive garden concept defined by geometrically arranged raised beds designed for vegetable cultivation.

In addition to the overall architectural design, I am responsible for the planning and integration of the electrical and plumbing systems throughout the property. The landscape composition is structured around a central fountain that acts as the focal point, while natural shading strategies are incorporated to improve outdoor comfort and microclimate conditions.

The project is currently in the design development phase.

Boeing 737-800NG Home Cockpit Simulator
Akdeniz University — Personal Project
Jan 2019 — Jul 2020

Designed and built a full-scale home cockpit simulator for the Boeing 737-800NG from the ground up. Custom-fabricated all major panels — MCP, dual yoke, EFIS, throttle quadrant, and fire suppression panel — each engineered for dimensional and functional accuracy.



Developed a customized software interface to bridge physical controls with X-Plane, enabling seamless hardware–software integration and realistic flight simulation behaviour.

Direct-Drive Simulation Steering Wheel
Personal Project
Jul 2018 — Oct 2018

Designed and built a high-fidelity simulator steering wheel replicating real driving dynamics. The wheel base is powered by twin 150W DC motors (300W combined) with a dual-pulley system delivering precise, responsive force feedback. All mechanical design and engineering completed independently; software developed in collaboration with Soykan Goksel Kamal and Ebolz Magy. Delivered within four months.

WMS - Workshop Management System
Platform: Microsoft Excel  ·  NEOM Trojena Project
2024 — 2026

Developed a comprehensive Excel-based management system to digitize and consolidate all workshop operations for the heavy equipment & machinery team at NEOM Trojena. Continuously refined based on field needs, it became the operational backbone for preventive maintenance tracking, multi-sheet coordination, and team task management across a 100+ person maintenance department.

The system functioned as a collaborative, role-based tool — each team member operated within their area of responsibility. It passed multiple audits by the NEOM quality control team and was recognized as the Best Maintenance Digital Infrastructure on the project. It was a key instrument in delivering a mega-project of Trojena's scale without major breakdowns or safety incidents.
