I got my BSc and MSc degrees from the same department, METU EEE, in 2012 and 2015, respectively. My master’s thesis was about statistical signal processing. In the past, I was working on FPGA accelerated cloud computing as PhD candidate. At the work, most of the time I work on FPGA/embedded related stuffs. I am also experienced in analog/digital circuit and PCB design.
I love spending my time on electronics and computers since I was 10. I like doing projects, reading blogs/projects/codes, watching videos and attending courses/webinars, publishing papers and doing other geeky things. I am a big fan of free and open source projects and initiatives 🐧. Besides, I like music and musical instruments 🎵.

Work Experience
-
Present - 2012, Electronics Engineer / ASELSAN, Ankara Turkey. Most of the time I design embedded things (like bare metal programming, RTOS, embedded Linux) + FPGAs (mostly Xilinx products). Previously, also worked on board design (schematic and layout). Company web site
-
2021 - 2018, Project co-manager + Design Engineer / ACCLOUD Project. ACCLOUD was a research project on FPGA accelerated cloud computing. The work was supported by TUBITAK and ASELSAN. I was one of the two project managers and responsible for architecture design + FPGA implementation (operational at 40 Gbps line rate).
