I build machines, then measure whether they actually work.
Studying Mechanical Engineering with Business Finance at UCL. A go-kart from bare tube, a brushless motor wound by hand, the low-voltage loom for a Formula Student car, and the sensors, rigs and code that turn each of them into numbers.
A brushless motor, wound by hand
Designed, printed and wound an outrunner BLDC motor, then built a rig to measure how its efficiency falls away with speed.
A go-kart, from tube to telemetry
Designed a chassis in CAD, welded it, hung a 7 hp engine and a CVT off it, and built an Arduino telemetry stack to watch what it does.
A robot that climbs a pipe with no code in it
IMechE Design Challenge 2026. A self-contained pipe climber built to a £50 budget and a rule forbidding any programming. Second of 50+ UCL teams.
I grew up around manufacturing. My family's business is a leather goods manufacturer in İstanbul, and I spent ten summers there from the age of nine, first in production, later in e-commerce and automation. A factory floor is familiar ground to me.
Most of what I build follows the same pattern: make the thing, then measure it. The motor needed a tachometer and seven runs before its efficiency curve meant anything. The kart needed telemetry before a lap time was more than a stopwatch reading. I'm looking for a summer 2027 placement where that habit is useful.
