Career break for settling down, childcare in a new country
Self-employed
After relocating to the Netherlands, I took a dedicated period to focus on family care, allowing us to adjust to the new environment while supporting our son’s growth. Once a suitable playgroup (toddler program) was found, I shifted my focus to securing a new job and making professional progress.
- Attending webinars on both soft skills and technical subjects
- Beginning Dutch language courses, which remain ongoing since January 2024
- Started to learn Python, data processing, and machine learning
Structural Analysis Engineer
Turkish Aerospace Industries
- Performed FEA and optimization for Airbus Wing of Tomorrow thermoplastic spoilers; wrote static strength reports
- Conducted FEA for A350XWB-900 aileron panels (AFP & PIP MODs); prepared stress documentation
- Completed composite concessions stress justification
- Performed RTM and MSN5 MOD structural analyses and reporting
- Checked fatigue analysis input data for A350XWB-1000 and Ultrafan nacelle exhaust nozzle projects
- Mentored junior engineers
- Developed Python scripts for workflow improvement
Static Stress Analysis Engineer
BIAS Engineering
- Performed FEA for panels of A350XWB-1000 ailerons as a subcontractor
Summary
Analytical and self-driven engineer with 9+ years of experience in finite element modelling (FEM), structural analysis, optimization, and engineering documentation across major aerospace programs (Airbus A350XWB, Wing of Tomorrow, Rolls-Royce Ultrafan). Skilled in working with complex datasets, building analytical workflows, and developing Python-based tools to support engineering processes. Currently transitioning into AI/ML Engineering, supported by a strong mathematical background, modelling experience, and continuous learning in Python, data processing, and machine learning. Open to junior/entry-level roles in AI/ML, data science, or engineering software development. Personally, with a passion for space-related activities, such as observing stars with a telescope and diving into the world of sci-fi books, and a deep interest in storytelling has also been cultivated through specialized courses and is now shared with my son. Traveling and swimming are also great joys, being among my favorite hobbies.
