About me
I am a 24-year-old senior Mechanical Engineering student at Gaziantep University and a young entrepreneur who has been building, modifying, and reverse‑engineering things since childhood—from dismantling toys to experimenting with sensors, circuits, model vehicles, and early mechanical prototypes. That early curiosity grew into a disciplined, cross‑disciplinary engineering mindset focused on turning ideas into reliable, intelligent systems.
Today I blend mechanical design, embedded electronics, IoT architectures, and computational intelligence. I design multi-layer PCBs, architect STM32 & ESP32 based systems, and develop data acquisition and telemetry layers for real‑time insight. I’m proficient in Altium Designer and KiCad, and I approach hardware as a platform: modular, maintainable, and scalable.
One of my flagship initiatives is AIRTRACK for AIRLAB: an IoT-driven, extensible environmental intelligence platform. AIRTRACK started as a custom PCB air quality monitor and is evolving into AIRLAB—a broader ecosystem for multi-parameter environmental sensing, data fusion, anomaly detection, and edge intelligence. The platform gathers and contextualizes temperature, humidity, particulate, gas, and energy-related metrics to support predictive insights and sustainable decision-making.
I am the founder of ArsuzTech, where I focus on building meaningful, impact‑oriented technology. My work includes renewable energy optimization frameworks for solar plants, RS485-based inverter telemetry (Huawei SUN2000), and intelligent dashboards that transform raw streams into operational awareness. I integrate NVIDIA Jetson Nano workflows (OpenCV + Open3D) for perception, 3D spatial reasoning, and advanced edge processing.
My experience also extends into propulsion research: exposure to jet engine fundamentals, performance modeling, and real-time sensing with EGT & RPM Bluetooth-enabled instrumentation. This reinforced my emphasis on high-reliability data pipelines, thermal management strategies, and systematic performance tuning.
As a young founder, I focus on: (1) cross‑domain integration (mechanical + electronic + software + data), (2) telemetry-first design, (3) sustainability and resilience, and (4) rapid prototyping balanced with long-term maintainability. I believe meaningful innovation comes from iterative learning cycles backed by measurable feedback.

My Active Projects
My active projects for which I receive data as of today
This project was developed to provide detailed data monitoring of the Huawei SUN2000 series inverter. The system reads the data via the inverter's RS485 communication interface and transmits it to the internet via an ESP module. The collected data is then presented in a user-friendly interface via a Python Flask-based web application.
Technical Details:
- Data Collection: I read data such as temperature, current, power, daily energy, inverter efficiency, frequency and total energy from the inverter using the RS485 protocol. By collecting this data, I ensured monitoring of energy production and system efficiency. Thus, it was possible to obtain detailed information about the performance of the inverter and the necessary analyzes could be made for the system to operate more efficiently.
- IoT Integration: I transmitted the data to a server over Wi-Fi using ESP32 and the C++ code I wrote via Arduino IDE. In this way, the data collected from the device was sent to a remote server, allowing the data to be monitored and analyzed.
- Web Interface/Data Visualization: The web application I developed with Python Flask allows users to analyze detailed data by visualizing the received data in graphs and tables. I provided an interactive and user-friendly experience for the application's user interface using CSS, HTML and JavaScript. In this way, it became possible to present data visually effectively and for users to easily analyze data.
- Real-Time Monitoring: The data is automatically refreshed at specified periods and also saved in an Excel file. In this way, users can easily store data and access historical data and perform detailed analysis while monitoring the instant performance of the system.
This structure plays a critical role in monitoring and analyzing the performance of solar energy systems. I am continuing my work on database integration, MQTT protocol usage or a mobile-friendly interface to make it more professional.
Project LinkThis project monitors air quality by collecting real-time environmental data from multiple sensors, transmitting it to a cloud-based platform using an ESP32 microcontroller, and visualizing the data through an interactive web dashboard built with Python Flask and script.js.
Technical Details:
- Data Collection: The system uses high-precision sensors to measure key air quality parameters:
- DFRobot PM2.5 – Measures fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentration
- SHT31 – Captures temperature and humidity levels
- CJMCU-101 – Monitors CO2 levels
- MH-Z14 – Monitors CO2 levels
- CJMCU-4541 – Detects volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
- IoT Integration & Communication:
- The ESP32-WROOM-32U microcontroller collects sensor readings and transmits them via Wi-Fi.
- Data is sent to a remote server using HTTP POST requests and MQTT for real-time updates.
- RS485 is used for stable, long-distance communication between sensors and the microcontroller.
- Web Server & Backend:
- Built with Python Flask, managing RESTful API endpoints for data reception and retrieval.
- SQLite database stores historical sensor data for analysis and visualization.
- Flask routes handle real-time requests, ensuring smooth data updates on the web interface.
- Data Visualization:
- Real-time air quality data is displayed using Chart.js, providing interactive graphs.
- Historical trends are analyzed and visualized with Matplotlib.
- The web dashboard offers filters to analyze specific time periods and conditions.
- Real-Time Monitoring:
- Data updates every few seconds for live tracking.
- Data is saved in an Excel file for easy storage and access to historical data.
This air quality monitoring system enables users to track environmental conditions in real-time, analyze historical data, and visualize the data through a web dashboard hosted on PythonAnywhere.
