Embedded Systems Engineer — STM32 bare-metal · multi-layer PCB · UAV autonomy
I build mission-critical embedded systems from the silicon up: interrupt-driven bare-metal C firmware, custom multi-layer flight-controller PCBs in Altium, and model-based control. Currently leading ICAROS, an autonomous UAV platform, while pursuing an MSc in Electrical & Electronics Engineering.
I'm a Mechatronics Engineer turned embedded systems specialist, based in İzmir. My focus is the layer where hardware and software meet — writing firmware that talks directly to peripherals, designing the boards it runs on, and closing control loops that have to behave in the real world.
As Team Lead of ICAROS, I own the end-to-end architecture of an autonomous flight system: a custom STM32H743-based flight controller, bare-metal sensor drivers over I²C and UART, and the comparison of classical cascaded PID against Lyapunov-based robust control as my MSc thesis work.
Before the MSc I worked as an automation engineer building OPC UA clients and PLC-driven machines, and as a TÜBİTAK researcher designing precision PID controllers and custom PCBs for biomedical instrumentation — work that led to two peer-reviewed publications.
My long-term goal is to work on embedded systems for robotics and the defense industry, where correctness, documentation, and design-for-manufacture actually matter.
// CUSTOM FLIGHT CONTROLLER · STM32H743VIT6 · BARE-METAL C
ICAROS is an autonomous UAV platform built around a flight controller I designed from scratch — a custom 4-layer PCB carrying an STM32H743VIT6, BMI270 IMU, and BMP280 barometer. The firmware is interrupt-driven bare-metal C: hand-written peripheral drivers, sensor fusion for attitude and altitude estimation, and a cascaded PID stabilization loop. My MSc thesis extends the platform to benchmark Lyapunov-based robust control against the classical PID baseline.
Contribution: designed the embedded hardware and firmware for the measurement module — custom PCB, PID-controlled incubator loop, and C# data acquisition interface.
Contribution: same embedded platform as above — conference proceedings version of the work.
