FIRST robotics Won

I co-founded FRC 7839 in high school, then after graduating we started 9029. Now I lead FTC Zağanos, FTC Türkiye Champions with the Reach Award in Houston.

Timeline ribbon of FIRST robotics seasons from 2019 to 2026: a thin pale band flows into a second team's band, and in autumn 2025 a third band rises off it. Beads mark official events, tinted rings mark awards, orange dots mark the 2025 regional win and the national FTC title, two tapered columns mark the world championships in 2025 and 2026, and a large slate dot marks the award won there.

FTC Zağanos #25577 (2025–)

I was the team's software mentor in the DECODE season and I lead the team this season. The robot code is written by coding agents that I direct and review. We became FTC Türkiye Champions as the winning alliance captain, won the Control Award for software, and won the Reach Award at the FIRST Championship in Houston. More about FTC Zağanos →

FRC 9029 Team NF (2022–)

I co-founded the team after high school. I wrote the team's vision library and much of the early robot code, and extended our YAGSL swerve fork to the motor controllers we already had. The team went on to win the 2025 Ankara Regional and reached the FIRST Championship in Houston in 2025 and 2026. More about Team NF →

FRC 7839 Night Fury (2019–2022)

I co-founded the team in high school; our rookie season was 2019. On NightVision, the team's vision coprocessor, I built the screen UI, the Arduino control panel and the link to the robot. More about NightVision →

This season I lead FTC Zağanos. The team's new robot software is built around a hardware-free core and logic engines that can be swapped one at a time. Coding agents that I direct and review write it against specs I approve. Early phases are tested in a simulator that runs the same code the robot will run. More about FTC Zağanos →

Seven simulated shooter trajectories from different distances arc up and fall through the mouth of a raised goal basket; the highlighted shot leaves a small robot's turret with backspin and is shown at equal time steps. The physics is computed; the robot and goal are stylised.
