I was born on August 10, 1990, in Kayseri, Turkey. I spent the first four years of my life in Vilsbiburg, Germany, before returning to Turkey where I completed my primary and secondary education. I graduated from Hürriyet Technical and Industrial Vocational High School in 2007 with a specialization in Electronics, building a strong technical foundation that would later support both my creative and aviation careers.
In 2008, I began my university studies in Mechatronics Engineering at Karadeniz Technical University. Although I did not complete the program, the experience strengthened my analytical thinking and technical problem-solving skills. I later graduated in 2012 with an Associate Degree in Radio and Television Technologies from Erciyes University. That same year, I ranked 201st nationwide in Turkey in the Vertical Transfer Examination (DGS), which allowed me to continue my academic path at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, Faculty of Fine Arts, Cinema and Television Department. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in 2018 with a GPA of 2.68/4.00.
My professional career began in the media industry. In 2011, I worked as a Cameraman and Video Editor for a 12-episode documentary series at Kral Karadeniz TV. In 2012, I gained field experience as a News Cameraman at Kay TV in Kayseri. In 2014, after completing a three-month internship in Istanbul, I continued working as a project-based Camera Assistant at VSG Production. During this period, I contributed to the 72-episode TRT Haber documentary series “Bu Toprağın Canları,” two feature films, over 100 music videos, and numerous commercial productions. These experiences allowed me to develop strong technical coordination skills, on-set discipline, and the ability to work effectively under pressure.
In 2018, I made a significant career transition into aviation sports and began professional paragliding training. In 2022, I obtained my Commercial Tandem Paragliding Pilot license through the Turkish Aeronautical Association (THK), affiliated with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI). Between 2022 and 2026, I successfully completed 1,397 commercial tandem flights, maintaining a 100% safety record. My responsibilities include passenger safety management, independent meteorological assessment, risk analysis, and operational decision-making in dynamic environmental conditions.
Currently based in Munich, Germany, I bring together technical expertise, creative production experience, and high-responsibility aviation operations. My professional journey reflects adaptability, discipline, and the ability to perform confidently in both creative and high-risk environments.
