Bahadır Tuncay
A versatile mechanical engineer and technical leader who has run manufacturing technologies (OT) and IT infrastructure side-by-side for 20+ years. Connecting the CNC machine to Azure architecture to optimize physical processes through cloud systems.
Uniting physical manufacturing and IT under one discipline
With over 20 years of experience in manufacturing technologies, I run IT systems, infrastructure, and process automation under a single cohesive discipline. I architect end-to-end setups spanning network security, virtualization, hybrid cloud solutions, and manufacturing shop-floor digitalization. My mission is to drive enterprise value by bridging the gap between physical engineering environments and information technologies.
