About Me
Dad, Engineer, Gamer
Hello! I'm Murat.
I'm an industrial engineer based in Istanbul. I focus on system and process improvement, strategy, and problem-solving. I’m always exploring ways to refine my skills through coding, gaming, or reading a good book. My professional journey keeps me grounded in İstanbul, where I work on projects combining creativity and innovation.
Outside of work, I’m a proud husband and father to a wonderful son, who is the light of my life. I aim to build a meaningful career that balances family, passion, and purpose. Thanks for stopping by—let’s connect if you’d like to chat!
