Background

About Mehmet Sinan Atli

Professional Summary With double degrees in Metallurgical & Materials Engineering and Mechanical Engineering, I bring over 8 years of hands-on experience in production, maintenance, and quality across Turkey's leading steel manufacturers. My expertise spans steelmaking, hot/cold wire drawing, stranding, and rolling operations, with deep knowledge of product groups such as wire rod, construction steel, rope, stainless steel, and rebar. I have led production and quality management processes aligned with international standards (EN, ASTM, ISO), applying an analytical and solution-oriented mindset. I am proficient in EAF, LF, CCM, and refractory systems, and have managed lab operations ensuring metallographic, mechanical, and chemical test precision. My responsibilities included equipment maintenance, calibration, and integrating test systems into ISO 9001, IATF 16949, and ISO 17025 frameworks. Complementing my field experience, I hold an MSc in Information Systems Engineering with a specialization in Data Analytics. This program equipped me with skills in data science, machine learning, statistical modeling, and visualization. My graduate project focused on developing a machine learning model to predict mechanical properties in hot rolling. Using sensor data and MES inputs from a major Turkish steel plant, the model achieved over 90% accuracy in estimating tensile strength, proving AI's potential in real-time production environments. I aim to transition into a Data Scientist role where I can bridge manufacturing expertise with data-driven strategies. By integrating quality systems knowledge and production optimization with advanced analytics, I seek to contribute to smart manufacturing, predictive maintenance, and process intelligence aligned with Industry 4.0. Technically, I am proficient in MS Office (especially Excel), SAP, QDMS, and SolidWorks, and have experience in quality management, data analysis, and project tracking. I possess strong skills in planning, organization, and team coordination, along with high English proficiency that enables effective collaboration on global projects. My fast learning, problem-solving, and continuous improvement mindset make me well-suited for roles at the intersection of engineering and data science.
