About

I was graduated from Boğaziçi University in 2011. My department was Management Information Systems. During my student period, I worked in Pepsico,Avea and Vodafone as an intern. After my graduation, I worked at Loodos for 4 years. It is a mobile technology company. First I started job as a key account executive. I have many account to manage. There were many mobile applications developed for these companies. Then, in a short period the ceo of our company call me and we meet a cafe. He incredibly feel lucky to work with me and he changed my position. In one year my new position became Key account and project manager. I worked with leading companies like trendyol, gittigidiyor, markafoni, atlasglobal, anadolujet, teknosa etc. I managed their mobile projects successfully. We gain a competition with teknosa mobile application. It was organised by Turkcell. Also, we gain Steve Silver Award with this app. We also gain an award which is the best mobile application in the year with Atlasglobal mobile applications. It was given by Turkcell. I have an idea and share with ceo and founder of our company at tmob. He decided to make this idea real. We created an ar and de team and I lead this team for my idea. I worked as a product owner. Our sales team started to sell this product. Which is called t-appz. Also, I lead t-race app which was a mobile push platform like netmera, insider etc. The product is ready and I give the products to our support team. Then, I started to work for Jolly Tour mobile applications and MasterCard mobile app. After that, I decided to change my company. My main reason to change is the industry is the same, but I did not get only a salary, also when company wins, I also win :D get extra money for the success of the all job. It is a good challenge for me. Make you more proactive. I have been working at Loodos for almost 4 years. I am now leading project management team. I am mostly working with Vodafone Turkey team for yanımda application. Also, we are leading many project at Vodafone like lead,zidane etc. Also, we are developing OneApp for Vodafone employees. You can set a meeting on it, you can see the status of the car park, you can reach phone numbers and emails of all employees etc. Oyak renault and Bosch are my other customers. We developed internal mobile applications for their employees. Konserv is another application on iOS and android. Konserv was developed for Garanti BBVA Bank. Now I am working with Kahve Dünyası. It is a secret project right now but I know it will affect all coffee lovers perfectly. :D
