Experience

2025/07/30 - Present

SiliCore Team Lead & SoC Architect

Co-founded SiliCore with Eyüp Ertan Sağdış, establishing Hacettepe University's first VLSI/IC design team from the ground up. Leading the engineering efforts to design an RISC-V microcontroller SoC that includes an AI accelerator, while managing system architecture, top-level integration, and verification flows.

2025/10/05 - 2025/12/25

ASPILSAN – Protective Circuit Design & Simulations (Engineering Candidate)

Engineered robust surge protection mechanisms using high-side solid-state switching, ensuring compliance with MIL-STD-1275F standards for military vehicle power characteristics. Designed two variations of gate drive circuitry: a discrete level-shifting driver for high-speed actuation and a transformer-coupled driver for galvanic isolation. Optimized component selection (MOSFETs, BJTs) and verified over-voltage clamping and transient immunity through extensive LTspice simulations.
