About Me

Hello, I'm Kubilay. I'm an Electrical and Electronics Engineering student at Özyeğin University with a deep passion for bringing technology to life. My studies and projects are driven by a fascination with the intersection of hardware and software—from designing custom PCBs and control systems to programming the logic that makes them work.

My hands-on experience has solidified my desire to solve real-world engineering challenges. I'm currently seeking a full-time R&D role or a Master's program where I can apply my skills in power electronics, embedded systems, and robotics, and contribute to building innovative new technologies.
