About

Software developer with 2+ years of hands-on experience, bringing an electrical and computer engineering foundation to software engineering and data analysis. I build real-time data pipelines in Python with multi-threaded processing, design RESTful backends with Django and DRF, and turn data into actionable insight with Pandas, NumPy, and Matplotlib.

Experience

Mar 2026-Present

Code2Work

Data Science Bootcamp Trainee

Code2Work is an intensive, project-based bootcamp focused on Python software development and data science. I build hands-on projects from scratch, including a statistical sampling algorithms library, inside Agile, Git-based workflows.

• Building projects from scratch with test-driven development using pytest and GitHub Actions CI.
• Designing PostgreSQL schemas and writing SQL queries.
• Analyzing and visualizing data with NumPy, Pandas, and Matplotlib.

Oct 2024-Mar 2025

Solid Aero

Communications Engineer

At Solid Aero, I built Python tooling to receive, process, and analyze real-time telemetry data. The work combined networking, concurrency, and data visualization to evaluate signal quality across varying test conditions.

• Developed a telemetry data pipeline in Python that receives, parses, and structures real-time TCP/UDP data streams, with struct-based memory optimization.
• Implemented multi-threaded processing to handle concurrent data streams without blocking, keeping throughput consistent and latency low.
• Built logging and visualization dashboards with Matplotlib and Seaborn to analyze signal trends, packet-loss rates, and RSSI/SNR distributions.

Gökrail Vagon

Intern Software Developer

At Gökrail Vagon, I gained hands-on experience in a structured industrial software environment supporting large-scale engineering projects.

• Worked with system configuration, parameter management, and process monitoring on large-scale engineering projects.

Aug 2023-Mar 2024

Alva Defence

Intern Software Developer

At Alva Defence, I worked in a fast-paced startup environment and contributed to KOSGEB- and TÜBİTAK-funded R&D projects across their full lifecycle, balancing technical and administrative responsibilities.

• Contributed to R&D projects from PoC development and feasibility analysis through project scheduling and budget management.
• Balanced multiple competing priorities under tight deadlines.
• Produced technical documentation and reports for diverse stakeholders.

Apr 2022-Sep 2022

AET Electronic

Intern Software Developer

At AET Electronic, I developed software for embedded communication modules and evaluated their performance through structured, data-driven testing.

• Developed reusable, modular driver components for embedded communication modules following clean-code principles and separation of concerns.
• Designed and executed a performance test suite measuring latency, error rates, and signal quality, then optimized parameters based on the results.
