Deniz Alçar · Skills Profile

Skills and Expertise

My skills combine scientific reasoning, robotics, programming, engineering and creative production. I enjoy working across disciplines and using both technical and visual tools to transform ideas into practical projects.

01

Robotics

Robot design, control systems, sensors, actuators and autonomous applications.

02

Programming

Python, C and C++ for automation, embedded systems and technical problem-solving.

03

Scientific Tools

Mathematical modelling, simulation, data handling and structured experimentation.

04

Filmmaking

Stop-motion animation, directing, editing, visual effects and narrative development.

Designing and programming functional systems

My robotics experience combines theoretical knowledge with practical development. I have worked with hardware, software, mechanical systems and team-based engineering processes.

Practical robotics experience

I have experience designing, building and programming robots for competition and experimental applications. My work includes integrating sensors, actuators and motors, developing control logic and testing systems under real operating conditions. I have also used platforms such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi to prototype robotic and automated systems.

Programming, modelling and simulation

I use programming and technical software to control robotic systems, test ideas, automate processes and analyse results.

ROS

Robot Operating System

Robot control, communication between components and integration of robotic systems.

MATLAB

MATLAB and Simulink

Mathematical modelling, system simulation and analysis of technical problems.

C / C++

Embedded programming

Programming for microcontrollers, real-time applications and robotics systems.

PYTHON

Automation and data handling

Scripts for automation, data processing, technical calculations and experimental projects.

GAZEBO

Robotics simulation

Testing robotic behaviour and system logic in simulated environments.

ARDUINO

Rapid prototyping

Building and testing electronic, robotic and automated prototypes.

Filmmaking and stop-motion animation

Creative production allows me to combine storytelling, technical precision, visual design and teamwork.

From concept to final production

I create LEGO stop-motion films and short visual projects, including science-related and cinematic productions. My work involves concept development, directing, animation, lighting, camera placement, sound, editing and visual effects. I use Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects to produce polished final videos.

Creative projects in motion

These projects demonstrate different aspects of my creative work, including leadership, animation, cinematic editing and science communication.

Leadership and filmmaking

Evet, Hayır ve Ölüm

This short film portrays a man reflecting on the regrets behind his life choices during the final moments of his life. As director and animator, I coordinated the production process, worked closely with my teammates and helped shape the visual and narrative direction of the project.

Director Animator Team collaboration
Creative visuals

LEGO Star Wars cinematic stop-motion

A cinematic stop-motion production focused on visual rhythm, atmosphere, composition and precise frame-by-frame animation. Each scene was designed individually to create stronger movement, continuity and visual impact.

Animation Editing Visual effects Cinematography
Science communication

A physics adventure for young audiences

This stop-motion film follows a physicist who solves everyday problems around a town using scientific principles. The project was created to introduce physics in an entertaining and accessible way and encourage children to become curious about how the world works.

Physics communication Story development Stop-motion Educational content
Interdisciplinary development

Combining analytical thinking, technical production and creativity.

Robotics and programming have taught me how to build and test systems, while filmmaking has strengthened my communication, leadership and visual storytelling skills. Together, these experiences support my broader goal of becoming a scientist who can both investigate complex ideas and communicate them clearly.
