Tell Us About Yourself!
I’m Ilayda. I’m from Turkey, where I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering in Izmir. Recently, I moved to Germany to start my Master’s in Media Informatics at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. I’m passionate about technology and arts, which is why I’m excited to work for a company that values creativity and design. Outside of work, I love drawing and dancing, and I speak four languages: English, Turkish, German, and Spanish.
What inspired you to pursue a career in the software industry?
I’ve always loved problem-solving, being creative, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. The idea of developing software that can positively impact people’s lives excites me and fuels my dedication to this field. From a young age, I embraced challenges that pushed me to think outside the box and create new things. I aspire to be part of shaping future technologies by merging my creativity with technical expertise to build user-centric and visually appealing digital products.
What do you consider to be your greatest professional achievement so far?
I think my greatest achievement so far has been to believe in myself and overcome every challenge I had to the best ability. One example has been stepping up as acting team leader when my team lead went on leave for two weeks in my previous role. Managing the team during this period was a significant challenge, but successfully leading and coordinating our projects gave me a sense of confidence.
What do you hope to gain from your experience working with us, and how do you plan to make the most of this opportunity?
From my initial experience with MVST, I was impressed by its thoughtfully designed and functional products and inspired by the team’s commitment to high-quality work. The supportive and collaborative environment I’ve encountered has made me even more excited to be a part of the team. I hope to further develop my technical skills, gain new perspectives, and contribute my experience in coding and teamwork. I plan to be an active participant, leveraging my technical expertise and creative mindset to add value to our projects and grow alongside the team.
