Embedded/Robotics SWE & AI/Computer Vision Enthusiast
I am a Software Engineer with a passion for building embedded systems and Robotics. My professional experience is mostly focused on Embedded side, but I also love developing computer vision/AI side projects. Let's collaborate TOGHETER!


Professional Experience
Robotics Software Engineer
Micropsi Industries GMBH
Berlin, Germany
July 1st - September 22th 2024
- Worked on MIRAI - a computer vision system that enables industrial robots to adapt their movements in real-time through camera feedback
- Migrated robot simulation from Gazebo to gz-sim, implementing Universal Robot simulation to support MIRAI's vision-based control system
- Extended gz-sim functionality by implementing custom action clients and ROS2 interfaces
- Replaced ROS1 components with ROS2 equivalents in the simulation framework

Embedded Software Engineer
NanoMagnetics Instruments
Ankara, Turkey
January 2023 - May 2024
- Used Raspberry Pi 4 with ADS1256 High Precision ADC as an encoder for a Nanopositioner, and completed the GUI (Windows Forms) along with PC communication via USB OTG
- Integrated an LCD Touch Screen into various devices, such as VSM, to capture and transmit firmware data. Developed user interfaces (QT Application) during this integration process
- Developed a system for collecting real-time data from a joystick, displaying it on an LCD screen, and wirelessly transmitting it
- Developing a SFM6000 Communication Module with RS485 protocol implementation.

Full Stack SWE Intern
Ekin Smart City Technologies
Ankara, Turkey
July 18th - August 19th 2022
- Because of my interest in Web Development, I did a Full Stack Web Developer Internship at Ekin Smart City Technologies. During this 5-week internship, I customized unused PrimeNG (Angular) components and documented RESTful API endpoints for clients.

Projects

Walkway Non Compliance Detection(Final Year Project)
The project is in its final stages, aiming to detect workers outside designated areas in real-time and send proof images to a mobile platform. I designed the system architecture (Raspberry Pi 5, Firebase, Flutter) and developed the computer vision algorithm and cloud communication using OpenCV, YOLO, DeepSORT, and Firebase API.

Temperature Initiated Object Detection
Developed an advanced temperature-triggered object detection system using TM4C123G microcontroller. The system operates in deep sleep mode until activated by temperature changes, utilizing dual-sensor verification (LM35 and BMP280) for accurate thermal monitoring. Implemented a sophisticated scanning mechanism using an ultrasonic sensor mounted on a stepper motor, enabling 180-degree environment scanning (-90° to +90°). The system features real-time distance and angle measurements, displayed on a Nokia 5110 LCD through SPI communication, with integrated I2C and GPIO protocols for comprehensive sensor management.

Shooter Game - FPGA Implementation
Engineered an isometric shooter game on FPGA hardware using Verilog HDL, featuring a unique 16-axis rotation system and real-time projectile physics. The game implements a custom VGA driver operating at 25MHz, delivering smooth 640x480 graphics with 8-bit color depth. Developed sophisticated game mechanics including multiple enemy types, dual shooting modes, and collision detection systems, all synchronized through precise hardware timing and state management on the DE1-SoC FPGA platform.

Analog Air Conditioner
Engineered a sophisticated micro air conditioning system utilizing pure analog components, featuring an innovative four-subsystem architecture: sensing, display, control, and operation units. The system implements precise temperature control through analog feedback mechanisms. Developed advanced temperature regulation with ±1°C accuracy, incorporating automatic mode switching between heating, cooling, and idle states. The design includes custom voltage-based temperature sensing and a potentiometer-driven target temperature adjustment system.
