I attended ETHOxford with my Turkish blockchain team of seven people, where we connected with the local blockchain club. During the hackathon, I took on a team management and research role, ensuring smooth collaboration and innovation throughout the event.

We also conducted a workshop on NFTs with my teammate, where I covered the software development part and taught participants how to build an NFT marketplace on Solana.

I worked with the Solana Foundation to gather students from across Turkey for the Solana Crossroads event, covering their transportation and accommodation to ensure they could fully experience and engage with the Solana ecosystem firsthand.

I also participated in Hacker House Istanbul and was selected as the first Turkish Solana Ambassador. Additionally, I worked for the Solana Foundation, contributing to the development of the ambassador program.

I gave a talk as a guest speaker on the Token and Talks program, where I shared my experiences with the Solana ecosystem, including my involvement in hackathons, ambassador programs, and community initiatives.

As the president of the BAU Blockchain Club, I led my team members to attend every side event during Devconnect Week, giving them the opportunity to network with global industry leaders and immerse themselves in the blockchain ecosystem.

Built Wiser - an on-chain crypto betting platform with VRF and decentralized governance. We attended 3 different teams and onboarded these teams to web3 first time.

I was the president of my university's Blockchain Club, becoming one of the first female presidents. I led numerous students and industry newcomers, organizing events, workshops, and onboarding many into the blockchain space.

Launched developer onboarding series for women in Web3. Built a dev community; partnered with SheFi for IRL events. Produced beginner-friendly blockchain content.

I led BAU Blockchain Club's attendance at ETHGlobal Istanbul, helping university students from different departments dive into Web3. This event was a major milestone in community-driven learning and project building.

I've hosted and spoken in various X (Twitter) Spaces, sharing insights on technology, innovation, crypto, blockchain, finance, and education. These sessions helped me connect with diverse communities, spark meaningful discussions, and contribute to knowledge sharing in the Web3 space.

I hosted a hands-on blockchain workshop for women at YGA, focusing on empowering participants with practical knowledge of decentralized technologies and encouraging more women to step into the web3 ecosystem.

I led and onboarded many into the blockchain space, including hosting a workshop at Galatasaray University, one of Turkey's top universities, to introduce students to blockchain technology.

During Devconnect Week, I co-organized and hosted a workshop and networking event in collaboration with Metis L2 under H.E.R. DAO Türkiye. This event aimed to empower women in Web3 by offering technical insights and fostering community building in the Ethereum ecosystem.

Starknet sponsored my ETHGlobal Paris experience, where I stayed at a Hacker House and collaborated with a friend to build a ChatGPT plugin, which we later presented to the jury.

As H.E.R. DAO Türkiye, we provided scholarships to three women developers in the industry, enabling them to attend the Avalanche Summit in Barcelona. This opportunity helped them and us network, learn, and grow.

I had the opportunity to attend the Starknet Summit in Israel, sponsored by H.E.R. DAO. There, I connected with many industry leaders and women developers, expanding my network and deepening my knowledge of blockchain scalability solutions.

Sponsored by the Solana Foundation, I attended Breakpoint and the Solana Hacker House, engaging deeply with the developer ecosystem, exploring new tooling, and building alongside innovative teams.
