• Supported Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) implementation, maintenance process improvements, and digital transformation initiatives across international manufacturing sites. • Executed System Integration Testing (SIT), managed defects in Jira, collaborated with IT teams, and performed regression testing. • Developed technical documentation, training materials, and standardized maintenance classification structures to improve user adoption, data quality, and reporting. • Designed and developed an internal

- Assisted the thermal spraying team, prepared research reports, and evaluated data using Match! and OriginLab. - Assisted the coating processes at the lab, e.g., assembling the machine heads (usually plasma spray), preparing the samples before the coating, measuring & evaluating the samples after the coating process.

I assisted to research about e-textiles and soft robotics for master’s and PhD students. I also worked on my textile-based EMG electrodes for TUBITAK project.

- Observed the apparel production line and production planning. - Learned how to use SAP system.

Operation of circular knitting machines, quality control of the final products.

I completed my internship in R&D center, department of technical textiles. I saw the dyeing and finishing processes of high-strength, flame retardant, water-repellent and bullet-proof fabrics. I observed the applications of the physical and chemical tests for them in laboratories.

I observed the whole process of yarn manufacturing from fiber to yarn. I saw the USTER standards and execution of these tests. I learned how to operate blowroom, carding, combing, roving frame, ring spinning and rotor spinning machines (Trützschler, Rieter and Marzoli). I also assisted to the managing of the lab.

I worked in a student lab where only students generate their own ideas and make their own projects such as 3D printed materials, robotics and programming. I was responsible in marketing department, I made connections with business people and leadership organizations to introduce lab's projects and also to be get heard.

Currently doing thesis work in the Chair of Reliability Engineering.
