  • To continue to do things at the point where everyone gives up.
  • Dividing the success into 2 parts as first is our achievements that we have already reached and another is the thing that we have learned from our unsuccessful attempts.
  • Hobbies
  • Playing Instrument: Playing bass guitar mainly. Moreover, I played in different events with band mostly at high school and took part in music competitions called "Vodafone Freezone" 2 times, when I was at high school.
    Additionally, I can play other guitar types as well as some rhythms on drum.

ABOUT ME

During BSc in Mechanical Engineering, I studied at different universities in thanks to the student exchange programmes (Farabi, and Erasmus respectively.)

I have recently graduated from MSc in Data Science at the University of Sussex. I worked on my dissertation related to Social Media Data Analysis of Cryptocurrency Markets by using several LLM models for sentiment analysis, and LSTM for price forecasting.

Up to now, I think I can learn anything that I am interested in by myself. Moreover, I really love to improve my skills constantly and like to deal with tasks on computer by using various tools.

In my leisure time, I am keen on playing guitar. Also, I took part in some events and competitions, when I was at high school.

EXPERIENCE

  •   - Participated in 5S controls in different units and gave points to 3 random units at each control according to the list regularly.
  •   - Assisted with tagging tools and organizing arrangements.
  •   - Assisted with AutoCAD drawings of parts used in production and created sketches of specific production areas.
  •   - Took notes by observing specific production areas and operators to check for efficiency losses, noted action lists, and reported observations to the production manager daily.
  •   - Attended regular meeting with a production team to brainstorm potential improvements in the production area.
  •   - Prepared SMED forms and spaghetti diagrams, compared takt time and cycle time using bar charts, and learned about the skill matrix.
  •   - Explored the use of OEE in a real workplace and monitored the status of operators and machine stoppages.
  •   - Created various figures (bar, line, pie charts) based on operator, machine, and shift data by importing relevant data from Power BI to Excel.
  •   - Did presentation about the possible future improvements at the factory to the management with a team from both my plant and another plant of the same factory.

Completing the internship in the unit of occupational health and safety.
During internship;
  •   - Had the opportunity to observe almost all units in the factory.
  •   - Worked mainly in the welding area to identify hazardous situations by taking notes.
