Software Engineer

Fatma Betül Sare

Software Engineer working across the full stack — from UAV software, autonomous systems and real-time control to backend, desktop and mobile application development. I've built ArduPilot/MAVLink mission software, Flutter and Qt applications, FastAPI backend services and real-time communication infrastructure. As team captain at the TEKNOFEST 2026 Swarm UAV Competition, I led the team that won the Original Software Award for our mobile ground control station and original mission algorithms.
