PROFILE
With over 23 years of experience in construction and civil engineering, I've navigated diverse projects from reinforced concrete designs to intricate renovations. A proud graduate of Balıkesir University's Construction Technician and Civil Engineering Departments, I've sharpened my project design and on-site technical control skills. My tenure in Turkey emphasized the harmony between theoretical designs and on-site implementations, especially vital in earthquake-prone regions. I've managed complex projects in areas like Kalkan, ensuring a seamless integration between architectural and engineering disciplines, and overseeing the project from design to execution. After completing over 250 projects in Kalkan, I expanded my horizons in Fethiye in 2017. Now in Canada, having graduated from the Project Management program at Georgian@ILAC College, I am eager to bring my extensive experience, problem-solving capabilities, and attention to detail to the Canadian construction and engineering landscape.
