SUMMARY

I have been passionate about technology since I was a child. That's why I chose to study Electrical and Electronics Engineering in Bahcesehir University located at Istanbul, Turkey. After my graduation, I had several training and job experiences. Besides those, I have always been studying about and experiencing new technologies and systems. I love solving problems which I encounter while trying new subjects. I am also blogging on my personal page in my free time to share my knowledge with everyone.

Right now I am working as a System Technologies Specialist at Arçelik Global located in Istanbul, Turkey. Arçelik is the biggest manufacturer of household appliances in Turkey. As the headquarters team, we manage more than 45K employees and 25K endpoints in 9 countries with 30 factories, so the systems and responsibilities are huge.
