About

My name is Ufuk Yapalı, I am an Australian/Turkish bilingual individual with experience in varying fields. My passion is technology and communicating with people. I am a melting pot of Eastern and Western cultures and thus able to have a wide perspective and empathy on any issue I’m facing. I speak English and Turkish at a native level but I am also hoping to learn new languages. I have participated as a team leader in two European Youth Volunteer projects. The first being in 2011 in the city of Las Palmas in Spain. In addition, as the Turkish team leader in one off the largest projects hosted in Europe, which was held in Balıkesir Turkey. I would be ecstatic to join not just a company but also a family I can serve in a different country than I am currently in because I’m on a personal path of non-stagnation in an ever changing world.
