About
I’m a final-year Electrical & Electronics Engineering student at Ostim Technical University, working on autonomous systems where hardware meets software.
On unmanned ground vehicle projects at Elektroland Defence and akdogan.tech I turned theory into field experience. With ROS 2, C/C++ and embedded systems, I focus on turning complex problems into simple, scalable solutions.

Experience
akdogan.tech
Software Candidate Engineer- After my internship in June 2026, I continue at akdogan.tech as a part-time software candidate engineer.
akdogan.tech
Engineering Intern- Worked on the electronic system architecture and hardware development of an Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) to its technical requirements.
- Drew system connection diagrams and wiring schematics for power, current and signal lines; prepared pinout tables and BOMs from component datasheets.
- Moved the robot’s kinematic model into Webots and validated sensor placements in simulation.
- Handled assembly, wiring and soldering of procured parts to deliver a drivable prototype.
T.C. Cumhurbaşkanlığı
Engineering Intern- Interned in the Systems, Network Management and Information Security unit.
- Monitored network traffic and server performance with Zabbix, Nagios and Cacti, reporting potential bottlenecks.
- Did structured fiber and copper (CAT6A, CAT7) cabling and port mapping in the data center.
- Ran OTDR fiber analysis, multimeter circuit checks and grounding resistance measurements.
OSTEAM · SARKAN
Electronics Team Lead- Led the electronics team of SARKAN, a finalist in the TEKNOFEST 2026 Unmanned Ground Vehicle Competition.
- Coordinated power distribution, motor control units, sensor integration and PCB design from design through the finals.
- Worked on the hardware-software integration of the autonomous driving and remote control systems.
Elektroland Defence
Candidate Engineer- Worked on the development of electronic control units (ECUs) for Unmanned Ground Vehicle projects.
- Designed and tested PCBs in Altium Designer.
- Supported system assembly, circuit connections and fault finding.
- Took an active role in communication and feedback between R&D and production teams.
Elektroland Defence
Engineering Intern- Took part in the electronic design, production and test phases of UGV systems.
- Supported quality control through functional tests and debugging.
- Assembled electronic enclosures, built cable harnesses and soldered.
- Verified hardware with test equipment such as multimeters and power supplies.
Gayda Enerji
Engineering Intern- Designed a microcontroller-based development board in Proteus.
- Built circuits with LCDs, 7-segment displays, optocouplers and voltage regulators.
- Completed PCB printing, soldering and assembly.

Featured Projects
Bomba Tespit ve Keşif Robotu
Completed
An STM32-based reconnaissance rover driven from a phone over Bluetooth that stops on its own and raises an alarm when its inductive sensor detects metal objects.
IRLED Kartı
Completed
A 36-LED infrared illumination board running on 29 V. The control side is galvanically isolated with an optocoupler and the LEDs are switched by a MOSFET.
ESP32 Röle Kontrol Kartı
In progress
An ESP32 relay control board that switches four separate loads, with every channel isolated by an optocoupler. The schematic is done; PCB layout is in progress.
PIC Geliştirme Kartı
Completed
My first board design: a PIC18F46K22 development board with an LCD, zero-cross detection and triac-based AC load control. Drawn in Proteus from schematic to PCB.
Sera Projesi
In progress
A greenhouse automation project I’m building. Details coming soon.
