Ankara, Türkiye
I'm a petroleum and natural gas engineer. I hold a Project Management Professional certification. Since 2020, I'm the Director of International Projects.
I graduated from the Middle East Technical University with a Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering degree. I am currently continuing my master's studies in the same department. Additionally, I graduated from the Business Administration Department of Anadolu University in 2014. I hold a Project Management Professional certification.
Since 2012, I have worked at BOTAŞ in various engineering and chief engineer positions. From 2018 to 2022, I served as the Chief Engineer of the IPA (Pre Accession Assistance Instrument) unit in the Directorate of Foreign Relations and International Projects. As of December 2020, I am the Director of International Projects in the same department. Under my directorate, various international natural gas pipeline projects, business development, and collaboration agreements are negotiated. Renewable energy projects undertaken by our company also fall within the scope of my directorate's responsibilities. During the IPA II period, I managed different energy efficiency projects and the pilot GES project with 8 MW. The "Boosting Green Hydrogen in Türkiye" project, which we submitted for IPA III, has passed the eligibility criteria and is undergoing maturity assessment.
My organisation
