Hasan, DevOps Engineer at Siemens Advanta Development  

One decision away from realizing your dreams

The unique culture of adaptability and innovation at Siemens enables us to introduce cutting-edge technologies and evolve within the rapidly changing tech landscape. For aspiring professionals, joining Siemens Advanta Development is an opportunity for growth. Hasan, a nearly 4-year member of Siemens Advanta Development Türkiye team, represents the new generation of engineers. After seizing the chance to participate in the Embedded Systems Course at Turkish-German University, he ignited his pursuit to excel in his niche. Working as a DevOps engineer, Hasan is an example of the value of our dedication to our dreams. 

A fresh start at Siemens Advanta

From his beginnings at Siemens Advanta Development, Hasan recalls being captivated by the open communication and collaborative problem-solving spirit among colleagues. “Siemens has its own culture of working,” he says, “I knew about the various scrum and agile methods that our company applies in the work methodology, but this was my first time experiencing them in real life.” He says describing the first few weeks were dynamic and full of new experiences.  

I loved the possibilities I received in the early beginnings. I could increase my level of learning and at the same time gain experience in the business world.

Dipping into the unknown 

Hasan and his team

Hasan transitioned from being a working student primarily focused on developing tools to enhance local IT processes to a full-time role. Shortly after, he faced an unexpected situation tied to a missing position of Senior Software Test Engineer. His team needed somebody who would take over the role and fix the errors in the development and testing infrastructure of a critical project. Yet, the status of this task was like stepping into an unknown.  

 

The bravest win the game 

Recognizing the gravity of the situation, Hasan took charge, utilizing Siemens learning resources to master necessary technologies from scratch.  

"There’s a huge learning pool within our learning portal, so I could find anything to move on with my new quest quickly.”  

Over five months, he not only identified and corrected technical errors and cybersecurity issues but also immersed himself in fully mastering the technologies used across the project. His determination and planning enhanced its efficiency by creating comprehensive technical documentation to prevent setbacks in the future.  “Also, whenever I faced difficulties, I could reach out to my colleagues, and they would give me the most they could."

Never forget to give your mind a break

Besides being the tech-master, Hasan enjoys multiple hobbies in his free time. “I love going for good, long runs. Before the pandemic, I used to run marathons to raise money for NGOs in Türkiye, helping people in need,” he says. Like discovering new solutions as an engineer, activities such as playing his guitar or cuddling with his two cats bring him equal joy. “On my days off, I'm deeply interested in investing my time in a small house project. Engaging in activities around my home brings me peace and allows me to rest from the difficult tasks I face at work.” 

 

Connecting to your environment

“Siemens says we connect the IT and the OT world for you. I love this quote, but I customized it. I say that we connect the IT and the OT world, and I contribute to the future of the digital industry through my developments in automation,” he describes. After all, a feeling of significance in your work is what everybody desires to have.
