Internship

Trainee Engineer - OnSite

Koç İnşaat - Düzce, Türkiye

I was present at the construction site of the TOKİ 127+1kD housing project in the Cumayeri district of Düzce, including its infrastructure and landscaping works. By the end of my construction site internship, although my construction and engineering knowledge was insufficient, I developed a general perspective on the field. During the internship, I gained various insights into construction works and site management. Regarding infrastructure, I learned how to use the leveling instrument (nivelman) and understood how essential it is in the process of creating sewage and stormwater drainage systems.

About Me

The Engineer Behind the Blueprints

I am a Civil Engineer with a specialized focus on Infrastructure and Road Design, blending academic rigor with practical innovation. My career is defined by a transition from residential compound planning to managing the technical design of massive city-scale developments.

Currently, I serve as an Infrastructure Design Engineer, where I oversee the hydraulic and utility planning for city-wide expansions. Beyond standard engineering, I am a proponent of Design Automation—developing custom tools using AutoLISP and Excel VBA to optimize workflows, eliminate repetitive errors, and enhance calculation precision. My goal is to deliver infrastructure that is not only functional but resilient and sustainable.
