"Full Stack Electronics" Engineer
📝Blog
I got my BSc and MSc degrees from the same department, METU EEE, in 2012 and 2015, respectively. My master's thesis was about statistical signal processing. In the past, I was working on FPGA accelerated cloud computing as PhD candidate. At the work, most of the time I work on FPGA/embedded related stuffs. I am also experienced in analog/digital circuit and PCB design.
I love spending my time on electronics and computers since I was 10. I like doing projects, reading blogs/projects/codes, watching videos and attending courses/webinars, publishing papers and doing other geeky things. I am a big fan of free and open source projects and initiatives 🐧. Besides, I like music and musical instruments 🎵.
