May. 2019 - Aug. 2022Istanbul, TurkeyThe user founded Mars Labs in Turkey, leveraging their Silicon Valley experience. They initially led a small team, quickly expanding the company to manage 25-28 engineers. The user designed Turkey's first native clinical-grade biomedical device for neurological and psychiatric disorders, securing over 8 million TL in TÜBİTAK grants. They personally developed the embedded systems, desktop applications, and most electronic circuits, ensuring CE certification compliance. Clinical trials showed an 80% success rate, far exceeding typical pharmaceutical treatments. The device has led to numerous academic publications, pioneering neuroscience research in Turkey. The project is ongoing.
Advanced Brain Research Center(ABR)Founder and CTO
Dec. 2016 - Nov. 2018Silicon Valley, San Jose, California, United StatesThe user founded a successful Silicon Valley company, leading a multi-disciplinary team in projects spanning Neuroscience, AI, Machine Learning, and Embedded Systems. They secured venture capital, drove rapid growth, and developed groundbreaking brain function theories applied to software algorithms. Within two years, the company gained significant recognition, expanding to 26-28 engineers and launching successful products. After selling the company for millions, the user returned to Turkey, founding Mars Labs Biomedical and Information Technologies, contributing significantly to the Turkish economy.
BMO Global Asset ManagementSoftware Engineer
Jul. 2016 - Dec. 2016Toronto, Ontario, CanadaDeveloped advanced search algorithms and optimized the client database, resulting in significantly faster search results.
- Designed and implemented a defense software application named "TURK," which analyzes network traffic, identifies potential data leaks, and detects malicious attacks.
Developed scalable and maintainable code, ensuring long-term stability of the software.
Developed reusable components that significantly reduced development effort on multiple projects.
Improved software performance by identifying and resolving bottlenecks in the code.
Optimized algorithms for faster processing, reducing overall computation time.
Integrated new technologies into existing systems, increasing capabilities and improving overall performance.
Upon detecting a network leak, TURK urgently reports the incident to the system security department, categorizing it by severity and urgency.
In the event of a detected software attack, TURK temporarily blocks all requests from the compromised port and immediately alerts the system security department, providing comprehensive information for further action.
Utilized Python, Java, C, C++, Bash Scripting, and JavaScript extensively in the development of this security suite.
Solar JunctionJunior Project Manager
Jun. 2013 - Jun. 2014Silicon Valley, San Jose, California, United StatesAfter beginning my career as a Software Engineer, I quickly transitioned to the role of Jr. Project Manager due to the success of my projects and the recognition of my exceptional talent.
Contributed to designing and producing the SJ3TM solar cell, the world's most efficient solar cell with a modular efficiency of 44%, developed for space missions and high-efficiency solar power plants.
Played a key role in the team so that we set two world records in a row with the SJ3TM solar cell in terms of solar cell efficiency.
Feeling so proud and so that the solar cells that we designed developed for space missions are now used in the International Space Station and many other satellites in the space. Yes! My work is in the space!!! Developed an Automated Testing Suite to test over 300 pages of the company's internal website, utilizing PHP, JavaScript, and Python, and integrated it with Git.
Enhanced the performance of the internal website, achieving a speed
increase of approximately 130 times, by:
- Optimizing database queries and refining website code written in PHP and JavaScript.
- Designing a complex caching structure, including reverse proxy caching, data caching, opcode caching, and a crawler to preload pages into the cache.
Utilized machine learning techniques to develop an Automated Solar Cell Inspection application using OpenCV, capable of detecting and identifying defects in solar cells, and marking them as Passed or Failed. Created a web application to accelerate the cell approval process and minimize potential human errors.
