About

I am a patient person with leadership qualities and a willingness to take risks. My interests are in Robotics and Autonomous Systems. I have worked as an Intern Researcher at TÜBİTAK and Saha Robotik, and I am currently working at LTC Inovation, where I focus on enhancing the software capabilities of quadruped and humanoid robots.

My core work lives in the robotics stack: ROS2, SLAM, 3D mapping, navigation, simulation, and legged robotics. Alongside this, I work with artificial intelligence techniques — classical methods, CNNs, ANNs, and deep learning — and I build most of my systems in C++, C, Python, MATLAB, and SQL. Day to day I rely on Docker, Gazebo Sim, Git, Micro-ROS, and PCL.

At LTC Inovation I focus on navigation and autonomy system development for Unitree Go2 quadruped and G1 humanoid robots, implementing and evaluating state-of-the-art mapping and localization algorithms in real-time environments. I implemented Visual SLAM using only a D455 depth camera to achieve robust odometry and mapping on the Unitree Go2, and I run extensive real-time field tests to verify sensor fusion accuracy and algorithm robustness on legged robots.

As a Long-Term Intern Researcher at TÜBİTAK, I conducted research under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Ayşegül Uçar as part of a project on advanced autonomous technologies for disaster management in GPS-denied, unstructured environments using multi-sensor dispersed robots. At Saha Robotik, I developed mobile robots and AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots) with ROS2 in real-world settings, working with Point-LIO and LIO-SAM using the Unitree L1 LiDAR and processing data through ros2bag files.

I hold a BSc in Computer Engineering from Sakarya University (2022–2026, GPA 3.22/4.0). I have been selected for the 2247-C STAR Intern Researcher Scholarship Program, organized by TÜBİTAK BİDEB, which supports undergraduate and graduate students taking part in scientific research projects.
