As a side project, I designed and built a full-scale Boeing 737-800NG home cockpit simulator from scratch. I fabricated all the major panels myself, including the MCP, dual yoke, EFIS, throttle quadrant, and fire suppression panel, each built to match the real dimensions and functions as closely as possible.

I also developed a custom software interface to connect the physical controls to X-Plane, so the hardware and software work together the way they should in a real flight environment.

I designed and built a high-fidelity simulator steering wheel that replicates real driving dynamics. The wheel base runs on twin 150W DC motors, giving 300W combined output, with a dual-pulley system that delivers precise and responsive force feedback. I handled all the mechanical design and engineering myself, and developed the software side in collaboration with Soykan Goksel Kamal and Ebolz Magy. The whole project was completed within four months.

I competed in the AAS Student Design-Build-Launch Competition, advancing to the third stage with a score of 92.8/100. Led structural design of a foldable delta-wing body, handling end-to-end SolidWorks modeling and design integration across a multidisciplinary team.

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.
