Professional Experience
Senior Engineering Systems Programmer Dec.2012-Sept.2013
Thomas & Betts Co., Meyer Steel Structures, Memphis, TN
Modify and maintain the existing programs in compliance with new technical changes and updates in design provisions. Debug source codes written in Fortran to find logical and programming errors for ITRs reported by engineering team and provide solutions for errors in source codes in both environment Unix and Windows. Integrate programming solutions and new producing capacity improvements in the plants to existing source codes to develop program functionality and efficiency. Produce new ideas and approximations in terms of structural design and optimization and integrate them to existing programs in the systems. Convert existing and create new engineering and business programs by using Fortran (Microsoft Visual Studio). Prepare batch files to analyse and check design outputs. Assist and consult to design engineers on usage of structural design programs GT Strudl, Decant etc.
Civil / Structural Engineer Apr.2012-Dec.2012
Dec.2008-Mar.2012
Thomas & Betts Co., Meyer Steel Structures, Memphis, TN
Analyzed and designed tubular transmission line structures (single poles, H-Frames, guyed poles, switch poles, 3-Poles, etc.) in accordance with national (ASCE 48-05, NESC, etc.) and clients’ specifications. Prepared design calculations (by computer programs, charts, and curves) and cost estimates of proposed designs for the other functional groups and communicated with these groups to ensure the most favorable design approaches. Consulted with the Design and Marketing Managers for clarification and interpretation of specifications for designing various types of steel structures used for the transmission of high voltage power lines. Managed and coordinated clients’ change orders for assigned high voltage power line projects.
Research / Teaching Assistant Sept.2003-Dec.2007
Dec.2008-Mar.2011
Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey
Dec.2008-Mar.2011
Performed scientific research related to structural engineering and prepared dissertation on structural optimization. Taught and assisted courses related to structural mechanics and design. Developed research projects on structural design optimization and worked on several scientific research projects on structural engineering funded by national organizations. Developed mathematical and computer algorithms in Fortran and VBasic for structural analysis and design of structures to perform scientific research on optimum design by meta-heuristic algorithms and probabilistic design of structures. Published research papers and technical reports based on academic studies performed. Provided consulting on analysis and optimum design of engineering structures to industrial companies. Took graduate courses and took part in projects related with structural engineering. Attended to number of scientific meeting and seminer to follow developments in structural engineering.
Visiting Researcher Dec.2007- Dec.2008
University of Memphis, Memphis, TN Jan.2012-April 2012
