Profile

Final-year Mechanical Engineering student at Abdullah Gül University, graduating June 2026. Completed two internships at startups inside Erciyes Teknopark — designed and delivered real hardware at both. Seven years of professional 3D work in Blender running alongside the engineering. I model the parts, print them, and render them.

Experience

Mechanical Design Intern

Aug — Sep 2025

Masswell Advanced Energy Systems ↗ · Erciyes Teknopark, Kayseri

  • Designed and 3D printed all enclosure components for a lithium-ion forklift battery — BMS housing, fire safety holder, power supply container, resistor case, and screen mount.
  • Built all models in SolidWorks from physical measurements; printed in-house in PLA and iterated on tolerances when parts failed.
  • Applied FDM anisotropy principles to fix structural column fractures — reoriented print axis and added fillets at stress concentration points.
  • All five components shipped inside a battery delivered to a client.

Mechanical Design Intern

Jun — Aug 2025

MTM Biotechnology ↗ · Erciyes Teknopark, Kayseri

  • Only mechanical designer on three concurrent wearable medical device housings: an EEG headband, an EMG muscle sensor, and a smart earbud.
  • One project arrived as a verbal description with no sketches or CAD reference — produced a complete 3D model, internal component layout, and photorealistic renders for stakeholder review.
  • Iterated on enclosure geometry to maintain sensor contact with skin while keeping parts compact and 3D-print-ready.

3D Artist

2017 — Present

Freelance · Remote

  • Product visualisation, modelling, texturing, and animation in Blender across seven years of client work.
  • Delivers complete renders from brief to final output — lighting, shading, Cycles rendering, and compositing in DaVinci Resolve and Photoshop.

Capstone Project

Self-Balancing Robot

2024 — 2025

Abdullah Gül University · Solo Build

  • Designed the chassis in Blender, 3D printed it, wired the electronics by hand, and wrote the full firmware in Arduino C — the entire system built alone.
  • Implemented a cascaded PID architecture: an inner tilt-angle loop for balance and an outer velocity-feedback loop for controlled forward and backward movement.
  • Achieves stable balance within ±0.5° of setpoint using only an MPU6050 IMU and a complementary filter — no wheel encoders, no optical sensors.
  • Resolved I2C bus corruption from motor EMI through isolated power domains, twisted-pair wiring, and a firmware bus-reset timeout; all PID parameters tunable live over Bluetooth without reflashing.
