Mert Efe Şensoy
Systems Engineer & 2026 IBM Champion
About Me
I'm a Computer Engineering student at TED University and a 2026 IBM Champion, bridging mainframe technologies and modern computer science education. My work spans systems engineering, embedded/RTOS development, and health-tech innovation. As an IBM Z Student Ambassador and IBM-Z Club President, I connect enterprise computing professionals with the next generation of systems engineers — championing open-source, documentation-first methodology where every design decision is recorded before implementation begins.
How I Work
Documentation First
Design decisions recorded before implementation begins. Architecture choices are tracked through ADRs and staged methodology.
Correctness Over Speed
Particularly prioritized in embedded and hardware domains where post-fabrication fixes are expensive or impossible.
Open-Source Toolchains
Favoring reproducible development environments. Every schematic, every simulation, every tool — open and verifiable.
