My name is R. Talha Üstün.
I was born in Zeytinburnu in 1995, and when I was 8 years old, my family took me to the capital of Tatarstan, which is part of Russia. That’s where I first met Russian.
I continued with the Russian curriculum until I studied Mechanical Engineering at Marmara University. I was introduced to Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky at a very early age. 🤷🏾
Influence of aviation on my life
At the age of 13, I discovered aviation and decided to become a pilot. While completing my training at the THY Academy, misfortune struck, and I had to abandon the process due to thyroiditis. Still, I gained tremendous experience along the way. Later, my career intersected with aviation once again. I was there when HÜRJET and KAAN made their maiden flights.
Tüm bunlara paralel aileden gelen girişimci genim ile durmadan bir şeyler katmaya ve edinmeye çalışıyorum. Bu bir hastalık gibi bir şey.
Career and ventures
- At 15, I started earning a little money during the summer months working as a sales assistant in tourism, and I continued working as a cashier at Zara during college. Earning pocket money kept my mind at ease.
- Engineering internships were very beneficial; I worked alongside Tarhan Telli at TT Custom Choppers and as a salesperson at Armada Yazılım.
- Companies where I worked as a regional sales and marketing manager for Central Asia:
ROKETSAN, MKE, TUSAŞ - Around 2016, I realized my fascination with watches and joined collector communities in Istanbul. I occasionally found rare watches and shared them with friends.
- While doing great work at TUSAŞ, I worked on an air taxi venture called SkyHub with two partners as part of an internal entrepreneurship program.
- I am currently working on The Defense Business, a global defense industry artificial intelligence business intelligence SaaS, and a defense industry-focused language model.
