I am a professional airline pilot currently flying the Boeing 737-800 and 737 MAX 8 as a First Officer with SunExpress. My aviation journey has been shaped by structured airline training, real-world line operations, and a strong belief in disciplined procedures, continuous learning, and effective crew cooperation.

​

I completed my ATPL flight training with Lufthansa Aviation Training, gaining a solid foundation in both theoretical knowledge and practical flying skills within a highly standardised, airline-oriented environment. Prior to joining the flight deck, I also gained valuable experience as an Airbus A320 fixed-base simulator instructor, which strengthened my ability to explain complex systems, procedures, and operational concepts in a clear and practical way.

​

Earlier in my career, I worked in long-haul cabin operations and airport environments, giving me a well-rounded understanding of airline operations beyond the cockpit. This background has helped me develop strong CRM awareness, communication skills, and an appreciation for teamwork across all aviation disciplines.

​

As a mentor pilot, I focus on helping students and junior pilots navigate ATPL studies, airline assessments, simulator preparation, and the transition into airline operations. My goal is to provide structured guidance, realistic expectations, and practical advice based on real operational experience — helping pilots build confidence, competence, and a professional mindset as they progress in their careers.
