The Hero4Hire team strikes again! I had another opportunity to work with them on a Bose project, this time for the "Bose SoundLink Max Portable Speaker." It's always a pleasure working with Hero4Hire because they have such a positive team. Evan Sussman and Dana Isenberg are especially great people to collaborate with! It was a short project timeline but we did our best in that time period.

This project involved a significant emphasis on CAD data, given the prominence of Beko and Arcelik as the leading white appliance companies in Turkey.

Mojo FX

I had the opportunity to work for a relatively short period, around six months. Being part of a few projects was enjoyable, but due to the current stance of the company, my position wasn't optimally aligned with my skills and preferences. Consequently, I made the decision to transition to another company by my own choice. Perhaps, with a more suitable alignment within the company, I could have contributed more effectively to the work.
