Hi, I'm Yağız.
Engineer by training, PLM person by heart. I studied mechatronics in Sofia, started my career as a Teamcenter developer in Istanbul and have spent the last 14 years making product data work for engineering teams. Today I lead a Siemens PLM cluster at Capgemini Engineering.
Away from the screen you'll usually find me around cars and motorcycles, on a road trip somewhere in Europe, or being supervised by our cat.
