Achieving 5/5 in 3 different subjects in AP (Advanced Placement) exams.   

I was one of the 5 members of the Turkey’s national team in 2013.

I achieved one of the best score in the 20th National Physics Olympiad.

I designed an interface on the FPGA board which drives specific IC circuits which are used in wireless communication.

I designed a Django web server for company’s cross-platform mobile application Piximony. I coded server-side communication part of the application, written in Ionic framework. I also added some features to mobile application. Piximony is a mobile application that allows its users to create questions about their pictures and share filtered pictures with their friends. Thus, they can make fun questions and remember their memories.

I created the user interface and added backend communication functionality to the front-end application written in the Swift language.

With a group of volunteering peers, we visited cities around the country to make the utmost dreams of the children with life threatening diseases. We raised funds and arranged events for children.  

I have given free lessons on weekends to secondary school kids from families with low socio-economical status to support with their classes.

We held 5-week Arduino & Electronics Design Courses for the freshman engineering majors in the Koç University. We arranged 5-week Raspberry Pi Development Courses given by a Microsoft MVP which provided students with internship opportunities @ Microsoft. We organized Techno-Date which brings together students and tech startups. During the event students had the chance to listen-up numerous start-up journeys. We completed two projects with the team and appointed to local awards. These projects were Drone.NET and KUAV.

We organized 12th IEEE Turkey Student & Young Professional Congress in 2015 with 400 IEEE members in Koç University. We organized “Bi’ Fikir Bi’ Şirket” which is a 2-day comprehensive event for students interested in technology enterprises and startups, including seminars, workshops and entertainment. The event also comprises a competition for startups to receive support from Koc Incubation Center.

I have been involved in two branches of the society namely Make-A-Wish and KU Education Society.
