About
As an Industrial Designer with a lifelong passion for aviation, I have dedicated years to mastering my craft in all aspects of industrial design and CAD work. From 2D to 3D conversion to concept design engineering and design for manufacturing, I possess a range of skills that make me a versatile and valuable asset to any project.
I take pride in my ability to convert design sketches into 3D CAD models for production and prototyping, but my expertise extends far beyond that. With a keen eye for detail and a knack for problem-solving, I approach each project with a holistic mindset, taking into consideration all factors that could impact the final product. Whether it’s idea generation, industrial design sketching, analytical thinking, product strategy, or anything in between, I am confident in my ability to contribute to any project in a meaningful way.
Currently, I hold the position of Vice President of Design & Engineering at a private aviation company in Reno, Nevada, where I specialize in designing and developing unique UAV / UAS airframes primarily for military purposes. However, my expertise is not limited to this field, and I am always eager to assist with any ongoing, unfinished, or new design projects.
With a full scholarship to study Industrial Design at Yeditepe University in Istanbul, followed by an MBA from the same institution, I am well-equipped to tackle any challenge that comes my way. Additionally, my extensive teaching experience as an Instructor at Yeditepe University, where I taught courses in Industrial Design and Advanced Surface Modeling for Industrial Designers, has equipped me with excellent communication and leadership skills.
As a Military Aviation enthusiast, I have had the privilege of being involved in several Military projects for the Turkish Armed Forces. Through this experience, I have gained valuable insights into the structure and maintenance operations of fighter jets, which has further enhanced my understanding of the aviation industry.
Testimonials
Lucien Miller
Selcuk has been an incredible asset to the design team at ROV Systems. His skills in SolidWorks and his design abilities are some of the best I have ever seen. He works extremely well, with little to no supervision once he is tasked with a design project and produces exceptional results in a very short period of time. Selcuk is also very personable and works exceedingly well with other people. He is a great asset to any team that he is a part of. I highly recommend him for his CAD and design skills.
Lee Brooks
Selcuk is an exceptionally talented and hard-working individual, his attention to detail and ability to see a job through to completion are second to none. His knowledge and understanding of Solidworks enabled me to visualize projects quickly and efficiently, often we had to dumb down the image so that people understood it was a drawing! In addition to his technical skills, he is one of the nicest people you are likely to meet and nothing is too much trouble for him. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him – you will not be disappointed.
Keith McLellan
Selcuk Ozmumcu is an incredibly hard working, detail-oriented, intelligent and highly creative individual. His CAD work on company projects is extraordinary, especially when you consider how fast he works! He is definitely an asset to our business, and he is a highly valued and very well thought of partner and teammate.
Anyone who is lucky enough to have him working on a project can expect great quality and timely, responsive creativity. I am looking forward to a long and successful partnership with him in our organization!
Stephen Parsons
I have had the pleasure of working with Selcuk during 2013 and 2014 on several aspects of advanced UAS design and a complete ground tracking system using Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS. We have also worked together collaboratively on smaller component level projects. Technically and creatively, Selcuk surpasses in his ability to interpret the ideas of others and pays meticulous attention to every detail of 2D/3D CAD/CAE projects he is tasked with. Selcuk has demonstrated his considerable talent time and time again, producing exceptional results on every occasion; he ranks highly in his specialized field and along with his most likeable and co-operative personality, he is deserving of my highest recommendation. I very much look forward to his involvement in our future projects.
Dr. James D. Hammond
Selcuk is probably the fastest and most talented computer designer I have ever worked with. From just a verbally explained idea through to a hand drawing Selcuk can turn the concept into 3-D reality seemingly in the blink of an eye. With a particular lending towards aviation projects, Selcuk has a feel, and a natural understanding for complex aerodynamics turned into surface rendering that so far in my experience is unmatched. I’d recommend him all day every day.
Joe Brouwer
Selcuk is an incredibly creative Industrial Designer and by far one of the most prolific and skilled 3D CAD modelers.
