KEMAL DEMİROZMAN

Professional Summary

Mechanical engineer specializing in 0→1 development of industrial electric vehicles, trailers and electromechanical platforms, with a growing focus on design automation and configurable product architecture. Experienced across the full product lifecycle: concept development, rapid prototyping, customer demonstrations, production preparation and iterative improvement. Led vehicle platform development from concept to serial production, reducing assembly time by 50% through modular architecture redesign. Currently architecting a configuration-driven modular vehicle family and its automated design-to-manufacturing pipeline (config → parametric CAD → validated production package), and built an AI-native business management platform now used in production. Combines deep mechanical execution — GD&T, tolerance stack analysis, structural FEA, drivetrain integration — with AI-assisted software automation and cross-functional engineering leadership.

Core Engineering Competencies

Working Method — AI-Assisted Engineering

I am not a traditional software developer — I build production software by directing AI coding agents (Claude), while doing the mechanical engineering myself. What makes this reliable is process, not typing: every project keeps a docs-as-code engineering record — numbered design decisions with rationale and rejected alternatives, a single-source parameter registry (no value lives in two places), and automated audit gates that block inconsistent outputs instead of merely warning. The Wagger design-to-manufacturing pipeline (40+ Python scripts, 5 automated gates, 111 recorded decisions, 275 parameters) and the Tıkır platform were both built this way.

Selected Projects

• Architecting a highly modular, configurable industrial vehicle family that unifies order-picker and tugger product lines on a single parametric chassis platform, turning low-volume custom orders from engineering projects into configurations.
• Designed a fixture-less chassis manufacturing concept — laser-cut tab-and-slot and tube-cope joints that self-locate on the bench — eliminating fixture investment and making single-unit orders economical.
• Designed self-contained, field-replaceable drive modules (motor, ESC, swappable battery, EM brake in one unit) so field service becomes a module swap instead of on-site diagnostics.
• Built an automated design-to-manufacturing pipeline: configuration JSON → serial number → parametric Fusion 360 model → complete production package (DXF flat patterns, bend and weld drawings, weld plans, mass & CoG reports), generated end-to-end by 40+ Python scripts and validated by automated integrity checks.
• Implemented a rule engine that applies engineering gates automatically at configuration time: load class limits, tipping/center-of-gravity checks, operator ergonomics and occupational safety rules.
• Established a single-source engineering record — 275-parameter registry, 111 traceable design decisions with rationale and rejected alternatives, automated consistency audits — so no value ever lives in two places.
• Hardened the pipeline with blocking quality gates — package completeness audits, part-type checks and rule-block execution guards — so an inconsistent production package can never reach the workshop.
• Built one-command market localization: the same order re-emits as a US-manufacturable package — material thicknesses and section sizes re-resolved to imperial stock, every dimension and unit converted, and document language switched automatically.
• Defined and batch-automated a 26-test chassis verification matrix; first customer-order vehicle adopted as the platform's MVP.

• Designed and built single-handedly from scratch — directing AI coding agents end to end — an AI-native multi-tenant business management platform (CRM/contacts, finance, tasks, dashboards) now used in production by two organizations.
• Embedded an AI assistant (Claude) that answers questions and performs actions on live company data through natural language — e.g. querying receivables and drafting follow-ups in a single sentence.
• Implemented secure multi-tenancy with row-level security, authentication and additive schema migrations; deployed with continuous delivery.
• Stack: Next.js 15, TypeScript, Supabase (PostgreSQL, Auth, RLS), Anthropic API, Vercel.

Professional Experience

• Led development of industrial electric vehicle platforms, trailers and mechanical accessories from concept to serial production.
• Delivered vehicles include the WAMO 70 mezzanine navigator, WAMO tugger and stock-chaser variants, the LCW order-picker custom build, and the DMT3500 heavy tugger (3,500 kg towing capacity, independent suspension on all three wheels); cage trailers designed here are in active daily use in Migros warehouses.
• Designed chassis architecture, modular assemblies and structural subsystems for electric vehicle platforms.
• Prepared GD&T technical drawings and performed tolerance stack analysis using Fusion 360.
• Performed structural FEA simulations and mechanical validation for load-bearing components.
• Selected motor, ESC and drivetrain components based on system-level requirements; designed wiring harness routing and mechanical integration.
• Executed tipping and stability tests to validate vehicle safety and operational limits; designed mechanical test jigs and performed design verification testing.
• Established rapid prototyping workflows using additive manufacturing and CNC fabrication.
• Built AI-assisted internal engineering software: automatic wiring-harness drawing and assembly-diagram generation, tube bending simulation, tube cutting optimization, and swept-path simulation & optimization for vehicles and trailer trains.
• Coordinated international suppliers and manufacturing partners across Türkiye, China and the United States.
• Structured production checklists, assembly procedures and quality workflows.
• Participated in customer visits and demonstrations; translated field feedback and sales requirements into design improvements and custom adaptations; supported post-sales troubleshooting and product improvement initiatives.

• Designed UAV mechanical structures, docking systems and vibration-isolated payload mechanisms.
• Executed concept, preliminary and detailed mechanical design in a 3D CAD environment.
• Performed structural FEA analysis and mechanical optimization.
• Prepared detailed technical documentation including GD&T drawings.
• Collaborated with electronics and software teams for system-level integration.
• Projects included a protective-cage drone for hazardous and confined areas, a sub-1 kg prototype, and an autonomous landing, takeoff and charging platform.
