Engineering the Future – Let’s Innovate Together!
Hi, I’m Efe!
Since the beginning of my journey in engineering, I’ve been driven by an insatiable curiosity to understand how things work, how they evolve, and where they are heading. For me, technology isn’t just about innovation—it’s about the systems, ideas, and breakthroughs that shape the future.
As an engineer working in e-mobility at Schaeffler, I engage with real-world technological challenges while continuously expanding my knowledge of engineering and automation. But my perspective on innovation isn’t limited to just one industry or one region. Having traveled to 26 countries, I constantly observe and analyze how different cultures, industries, and societies approach technological progress.
From the high-speed rail systems of Japan to the sustainability-driven urban planning of Scandinavia, I seek to understand how innovation takes shape across the globe. My goal is to connect the dots between past engineering marvels, present advancements, and future possibilities—whether that’s exploring zero-prototyping in vehicle design, dissecting historical breakthroughs like Concorde and maglev trains, or analyzing the automation revolution across industries.
This page is for those who, like me, enjoy diving deep into engineering, technology, and the forces that drive progress. Here, you’ll find insights, analyses, and carefully curated sources that bridge history, global innovation, and the future of engineering.
Whether you’re an engineer, an innovator, or someone fascinated by how technology shapes the world, I hope this space provides valuable perspectives and sparks new ideas.
