Hi! I’m İlker, a Mechanical Engineer currently living in Dublin, originally from the captivating landscapes of Türkiye. Life for me is all about curiosity, discovery, and connection. I consider myself an easy-going, open-minded, and adventurous person who loves learning new things and expanding my horizons. My journey through engineering and technology has taught me how to solve problems and approach life with a mindset of constant improvement.

I’ve spent the last seven years working in technology sales and engineering, which has allowed me to meet many incredible people and broaden my view of the world. I enjoy challenges and love being able to help companies find the best solutions for their needs. I believe that technology and creativity can go hand in hand to shape the future. So, I embrace both in my professional and personal life.

But beyond the tech world, I’m a lifelong learner. I’m always curious about new subjects, from philosophy and literature to music and psychology. I believe every conversation is an opportunity to learn something new, and that’s why I love meeting new people and hearing their stories. Whether it’s a deep discussion about life’s big questions or just exchanging fun travel tips, I find value in every interaction.

Music is also a big part of my life. I play the tenor saxophone and have a deep love for jazz and blues. There’s something about the spontaneity and passion of music that really resonates with me. When I’m not working or learning, you’ll probably find me enjoying a good jam session or discovering new tracks.

I’m passionate about creativity and personal growth. I believe life is a journey, and the best way to navigate it is by being open to new experiences and embracing change. My philosophy is simple: “Life is too short to be unhappy.” That’s why I choose to live each day with curiosity and take risks, even in the face of difficult moments. Every challenge is a new opportunity for growth.

I love to share, whether it’s experiences, stories, or just a good meal. I’m the kind of person who enjoys talking to everyone, whether I know them or not. In fact, I think it’s even more exciting when I don’t know the person I’m speaking with because it opens the door to new perspectives, friendships, and opportunities.

**Philosophy:**

- Anything is possible. We are capable of making this life a wonderful adventure.
- Life is too short to be unhappy. I’ve decided to live fully and take risks after difficult moments.
- Develop yourself. Creativity, Freedom, and Life go hand in hand.

I’m really looking forward to meeting new people and sharing our experiences. Let’s connect, learn from each other, and make life a bit more exciting together! If you’re curious about technology, travel, or just want to talk about life, I’m always up for a great conversation.
