Hi, I'm Tarik Doganay

I am currently studying mechanical engineering, specialising in aerospace engineering,
at RWTH Aachen University.

Degree

Ever since i started working on my first motorcycle at 17, I was fascinated with all things mechanical.
The thought of finding out how things function kept pushing me forward, until I finally enrolled into my studies.

In my view, nothing is perfect. There is always something to optimize on any supposedly finished component.
I enjoy this mindset of optimization, and it constantly gives me new reasons to tinker.

In addition to my studies, I'm employed in Construction and Research at Kellermann Lighting GmbH Co. KG.

Some of my skills include:

CAD modelling and optimization

Additive Manufacturing

Structural analysis

Whereas my weaknesses are:

HTML Coding

Strawberry tartlets

This portfolio is still a work in progress.
Current projects include (but are not limited to):

• Baja-California race inspired motorcycle rally lighting system
• Bicycle Regulator-Rectifier module for long distance applications
• Lightweight backpacking Kalimba with electric connecitvity

"Why not go the easy route?"

"But there is an AI tool for that"

Getting to know the early 2000s as a child,
wrestling for a spot at the home PC for a round of pinball
and still spending hours with my revived iPod, I came to the conclusion,
that my personal website should reflect on that joyfull era of early 2000s technology.

Design laws were not yet as defined and experimentation was key.
Human machine interaction was characterised by mechanical interfaces that were in fact,
fun.

So why not get it done on the most roundabout but most personal way?
