My Interactive CV Portfolio & The Road to TEDx


On 27th February 2013, after graduating, I took a significant step by designing the world’s first interactive CV portfolio. The creative nature of this project quickly attracted numerous job offers. The fact that it was designed as an iPad app captured the attention of companies, and as a result, newspapers, TV channels, and prominent news websites interviewed me and introduced the project to a wider audience. However, the most rewarding moment in this journey was being invited to speak at TEDxBilkent. Here, I met with university students and shared my success story, delivering an important message: “When you do what you truly love, success will follow.” I also highlighted the power of presentations and how standing out in unique ways can set you apart in your career.

My TEDx talk was more than just a personal success story. It was an invaluable opportunity to make my voice heard on a globally influential platform and to ensure that the voices of young people like me were also acknowledged. The opportunity provided by TEDx, allowing people to share their life journeys and inspire one another, was truly a significant experience. Following this event, I began receiving numerous offers for speaking engagements and job opportunities. These opportunities marked a crucial turning point in my career, allowing me to reach a wider audience both personally and professionally.
