The happiest guy in the world!

I was at MIT last month as a visiting research scholar. Scholarship includes: a big trip to MIT with president Nihat Berker, involving attending classes and meeting professors in MIT and writing a report about the experience; visiting Harvard University (Professor Selim Berker) and the city of Boston, with all expenses covered by MIT and Sabancı University.

I came to Hong Kong University of Science and Technology as an exchange student this semester.

I went to San Francisco with my student club "Tea Talks with CEOs". We met some executives and CEOs from Udemy, Microsoft, some startups, Google etc. for a week. After that week my friends went back to Istanbul but I stayed in San Francisco two weeks more! And I did not have enough money to pay for staying. So I was looking for people who wanted me to stay with them for one or two days!

Studying Double Major Computer Science and Engineering & Mechatronics Engineering and also Art Theory and Criticism & Entrepreneurship Minors at Sabanci University, Istanbul

Founder of Creatiful Minds. A group of people who give ideas to and make reverse mentoring for startups, big companies, and brands.

One of the most active student at university by including 3 different faculty and many student clubs which some of them are established by me ( astronomy club, newcomers club )

Volunteer for 3 years in Civic Involvement Project such as school-children, animal, nursing home projects.

I really really really like you! I like all people. Inspite of being a future engineer, my specific study field is actually all people!
