Geotechnical engineering | software | laboratory equipment

Engineering systems where soil mechanics, automation, and business operations meet.

I am a geotechnical engineer and full-stack programmer serving as Deputy General Manager at ALFA Testing Equipment. My work spans advanced laboratory testing equipment, CRM and ERP systems, embedded and PC software, electronics, automation, R&D, sales operations, technical support, manufacturing follow-up, logistics, IT, and academic research.

Profile

A practical engineer with a builder's range.

I am a geotechnical engineer and full-stack programmer with a long-running interest in precision, practical systems, and innovation. Born in Iraq in 1990, my academic path started early with a perfect 100/100 grade in primary school and a first-place IQ entrance ranking for a gifted-students high school in 2002.

In 2008, I began my Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering at Eastern Mediterranean University in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. I completed the degree in 3.5 years, graduated as the top student of the department, and received High Honour distinctions in all seven semesters. My graduation project investigated mass production techniques for adobe bricks.

For my Master of Science at Middle East Technical University in Ankara, I worked under Assoc. Prof. Nabi Kartal Toker on the development of a computer-controlled triaxial test setup and a study of multistage triaxial testing on sand. That work shaped the bridge I still work across today: geotechnical laboratory behavior, instrumentation, automation, and software.

Since 2012, I have been part of ALFA Testing Equipment, starting in international sales and technical support and growing into a leadership role with responsibility across CRM, sales, ERP implementation, programming, electronics, automation, R&D, IT, graphic design, manufacturing, logistics, and enterprise solutions.

In 2023, I started a PhD in Geotechnical Engineering at METU under the mentorship of Assoc. Prof. Nabi Kartal Toker. The PhD lets me combine academic research with hands-on professional experience in advanced testing equipment and practical R&D.

2012-present ALFA Testing Equipment

Deputy General Manager with cross-functional ownership across technical and commercial operations.

2023-2027 METU PhD

Geotechnical Engineering research continuing the laboratory testing and instrumentation path.

2012 Top student

Graduated first in Civil Engineering at Eastern Mediterranean University, Class of 2012.

Utilities

Small tools for graduate students and presentations.

I moved the old Presentation Pace Timer into a dedicated utilities area and added a unit converter as the first step toward a small library of MS and PhD student-oriented tools.
