I am an enthusiastic architect & engineer living in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. I can define myself as curious and proactive. Topics such as Healthy Environments, Smart Cities, Sustainability, Circularity, BIM excites me the most. I find interdisciplinary work options of built environment really inspiring. Currently I am working at Philips Healthcare as 3D Modeler for hospital design. 

Summary of my studies:
I hold my Bachelor of Architecture from Bilkent University, one of the top schools in Turkey. I graduated laude and ranked 3 among 2018 graduates. Also, I studied in Politecnico di Milano as an Erasmus student in the 2017, spring semester. After my bachelor's, I have been accepted to the Architectural Design and Engineering master's program of the Technical University of Eindhoven in 2019 with the Amandus H. Lundqvist Scholarship (ALSP) and Holland Scholarship. I defended my thesis on Stimulating Healthy Environments for seniors with dementia and it was awarded with 8.7 in July 2021 and graduated from the Architectural Design and Engineering master's program of TU/e at the end of August 2021.

Since my graduation, I am working at Philips Healthcare Systems as 3D /BIMmodeler. I am mainly working on advance hospital rooms equipped with Philips products. My main role is to model our design for those hospital rooms before the installation of the equipment, the main purpose of doing this is making sure that we meet our customers' needs before the installation and finding out the possible problems of design which can occur during installation beforehand. To do so, I am using Revit (I am using this program since my bachelors) to model these hospital rooms or departments. Additionally, we get 2D drawings and documentation for site readiness from our Revit models to make sure every change in 3D is shown %100 correctly on all documentation.

After I finished my bachelor's degree in architecture at one of the top universities in Turkey. I did my master's in Architectural Design and Engineering department at Technische Universiteit Eindhoven. Following my graduation, I started to work at Philips Healthcare Systems as 3D/ BIM Modeler.
