Student & community leader blending technical fluency with entrepreneurial vision

About

Since childhood I’ve been fascinated by software and technology, but over the years I’ve learned that my real passion lies in bringing people together. I enjoy building teams, launching ideas and aligning diverse groups around shared goals. Today I’m pursuing a dual academic path in Information Systems & Technologies at Sivas Cumhuriyet University and International Entrepreneurship at Istanbul University’s AUZEF faculty. This combination helps me blend technical awareness with a strategic, entrepreneurial mindset.

At Sivas Cumhuriyet University I founded the Huawei Student Developers chapter. My focus has been on laying the foundation for a vibrant tech community—connecting students, organising events and working with partners. Leading this community sharpened my skills in coordination and strategic planning and prepared me for larger responsibilities in product, project or community management. As artificial intelligence reshapes how products are built, I aspire to bridge vision and execution and ensure that teams deliver meaningful outcomes.

Leadership demands more than technical skill; it requires empathy, communication and persistence. I’ve been honing that “more” for years—and I’m excited for the journey ahead.
