Hello.
I'm Mahmut Esat.

METU ROMER — Center for Robotics and Artificial Intelligence

On-site · Ankara, Türkiye

Focused on ROS-based robotics workflows and gained exposure to Vision-Language-Action research for robotic manipulation. Studied the architecture and development workflow of a larger home-robotics system built around Isaac Sim.

Developed a lightweight MuJoCo-based adaptation of the robotics workflow so that the core simulation and control concepts could be explored locally on Apple Silicon hardware. The work focused on ROS 2 integration, robot simulation, control architecture, and a dual Franka Panda manipulation environment.

Microsoft Türkiye

Hybrid · Istanbul, Türkiye

Developed an advanced local-first Retrieval-Augmented Generation system using Microsoft Foundry Local for engineering and industrial knowledge workflows. The work combined hierarchical document parsing, hybrid BM25 and dense retrieval, Reciprocal Rank Fusion, cross-encoder reranking, query rewriting, retrieval grading, context reconstruction, citations, entity-graph exploration, and latency telemetry through a FastAPI application layer. It focused on retrieval quality, explainability, and dependable offline execution for technical knowledge environments.

TUSAŞ Engine Industries

Selected for the TEI Aviation Engines School, a specialized aerospace-engine training program focused on introducing students to aviation propulsion technologies, engine systems, and industry-oriented engineering practices. The program provided structured exposure to aerospace engine concepts and the technical ecosystem surrounding modern propulsion systems.
