A wireless object-tracking system I designed and built single-handedly as a first-year student — as a senior's graduation project. This is where I made my first XBee link.

A GPS-based system that tracks an object's location wirelessly and encrypted. The interesting part: as a first-year student, before I had even taken the relevant courses, I designed and built this single-handedly as a graduating senior's capstone project. It was my first paid job — it earned my first pocket money.
I read standard GPS location data in C# and passed it to an Arduino Mega; I transmitted it wirelessly and encrypted to the other side (Arduino Uno) via XBee modules and showed it on a screen. On the desktop side (.NET WinForm) I rendered the incoming location in a visual interface. This is where I first built and ran end-to-end XBee wireless communication.
A working, end-to-end wireless tracking system, delivered as a graduation project. Building a senior's capstone before taking the courses showed early on that I could handle hardware + embedded + desktop software together. The source is open on GitHub.
I build location/telemetry tracking with GPS, wireless modules like XBee and a desktop interface — hardware to software.

Mayfly · Turkey's first GPS-denied 5G UAV5G-Enabled GPS-Denied UAVOne of Turkey's first private-5G UAVs able to operate in GPS-denied (indoor/factory) environments. We built one drone in 15 days; I owned the system architecture and the control/communication software.
Mayfly · KOSGEB Advanced Technology projectAutonomous Drone Charging StationA solar-assisted, fully autonomous wired charging station that talks MAVLink. It was Mayfly's KOSGEB advanced-technology project; I designed the system architecture and wrote all the embedded firmware single-handedly.
Mayfly · My first industrial projectSmart Social-Distancing WristbandMy first industrial project, run solo from hardware to design to software. Built at Mayfly for Bursa Ekol College — an ESP32 + C++ wristband measuring distance to cm precision.
