Muhammet TURŞAK

As a technologically very advanced and at the same time business oriented fast learner and team leader who always tries to be at the edge of technology and development, Muhammet is a person of trust and a person to count on when things need to be done. I enjoy very much working with him...

Muhammet Turşak'ı lisans öğrenimi sırasında benden aldığı derslerden başlayarak tanıma şansım oldu. Öncelikle, Muhammet hem benim derslerimde ve hem de diğer derslerinde çok başarılı bir öğrenci olduğunu söyleyebilirim. Lisans öğrenimi sırasında sadece öğrenci olarak değil aynı zamanda dersler çerçevesinde gerçekleştirilen projelerde çok yaratıcı, bilgi derinliğine sahip, ve aynı zamanda iyi bir grup üyesi olarak hep dikkatimi çekmiştir. Bu özellikleri bütün öğrenciliği boyunca devam eden Muhammet Yüksek Lisans öğrenimine başladığında tez çalışmasını benimle yapmak istedi. Bu beni çok mutlu etti, kendisiyle çok başarılı bir çaılşmayı hayata geçirme şansım oldu. Hoca-öğrenci ilişkisi dışında Muhammet'le birlikte birçok projeyi hayata geçirme şansımız oldu. Bunların içinde en önemlisi Emniyet Genel Müdürlüğü için hazırlanan e-öğrenme portalini sayabilirim. Kısacası, Muhammet'le ilgili benim algımı soracak olursanız, çalışkan, bilgili, işten kaçmayan, disiplinli, bilgisini gerçek hayat problemlerinin çözümünde başarıyla kullanabilen çok iyi bir insadır diye özetleyebilirim (özet olarak bu). saygılarımla

I have known Muhammet Turşak for about 10 years. He served in my instructional software development team, Halici Software Co., as chief developer. He is extremely task oriented, easy-to-communicate and solution-driven type person that facilitates project difficulties of any kind. I have no reservation in recomending Muhammet for high quality IT projects as either manager or assistant manager.

Muhammet was one of my undergrad students at METU. He was very diligent and hard working person. More importantly he had self-learning ability so he could easily adopt to new technologies. His personality is also unique, teamwork oriented and easygoing person. It was always a pleasure to work with Muhammet.

Muhammet and I worked together on an online course and e-learning project, the e-Ders Project, which was developed by the Informatics Institute of the Middle East Technical University in order to provide course content development expertise to university level educators, during the time period of April 2002 to October 2002. In this project we had employed undergraduate students for a 6-month period to provide assistance to each one of the developed 6 courses, and Muhammet was one of them. During this 6-month period I was the direct supervisor of Muhammet and I had the chance to observe his work and skills closely. Even though only a sophomore at the time of the project, Muhammet had tremendous ideas regarding the general design of the courses and was always supportive of our colleagues and instructors, even when his own workload was overwhelming. Based on these skills Muhammet was directly promoted to the responsibility of being the overall designer of the e-Ders project, instead of a single course, a responsibility that he very successfully completed. Contrary to his young age at that time period, he was always punctual, businesslike and very disciplined. In many cases he devoted more time and effort than anyone else in the team to come up with solutions that none of us had considered. During the years I witnessed his professional career progress and now I am aware that he is a top-notch software engineer and a wise businessperson. I consider myself extremely fortunate for having worked with Muhammet and I sincerely believe he would make a tremendous addition to any software development team he works with.
