Ercan Koçlar – Independent Developer and Maker

Hello, I’m Ercan Koçlar. As a freelance developer, I design and build projects in the fields of electronic systems, embedded software, and power electronics. I personally plan and execute every step — from the production process to software development, from testing to technical documentation

I began my career in the fundamentals of manufacturing. During this time, I gained hands-on experience in technical areas such as TIG (argon) welding. These experiences taught me not only the details of physical production processes but also what it means to build a sustainable system. Over time, I shifted my focus toward engineering disciplines and started working deeply on machine design, electronic circuits, and embedded systems.

Focus on Embedded Systems and Power Electronics

As of 2025, I have particularly focused on power electronics, embedded software development, and electronic circuit design. I develop all my circuits not by simply copying, but through mathematical calculations, prototyping, and validation using real test equipment such as oscilloscopes and signal generators.

Moreover, driven by my interest in open-source systems, I built my entire system infrastructure on Linux-based solutions. I manage my projects systematically and sustainably using enterprise-grade tools like OpenProject, Gitea, and Dolibarr — all hosted on my own Linux server.

The Power of Discipline: Planning and Management Infrastructure

The managerial shortcomings I witnessed in large companies led me to build my own systems. An efficient production process is not only about technical knowledge, but also about using the right tools and maintaining planning discipline. For this reason, I manage the entire workflow — including project management, version control, inventory tracking, and documentation — through fully digital infrastructures.

Academic Development and Lifelong Learning

To deepen my knowledge not only in the field but also academically, I am currently studying in the Electronics Technology program at Ege University. At the same time, I am taking advanced English courses and planning to pursue a master’s degree in marketing in the future. My goal is to continue my journey as a fully equipped developer who can combine technical expertise with strategic thinking.

Commercial Projects and Future Vision

In recent years, I have focused on commercializing my personal productions and establishing a sustainable income model through digital marketing, product optimization, and software sales. I develop MikroC libraries, custom circuit solutions, and technical products, offering them for sale through online platforms.

I am also actively working on the freelance platform Bionluk for project-based collaborations. If you need a custom circuit, software, or system design, you can safely contact me through this platform.

My Research Interests and Areas of Expertise

• Power electronics and custom circuit design

• Embedded systems (microcontroller programming, C language)

• Linux server administration and open-source system integration

• Corporate project management tools (OpenProject, Gitea, Dolibarr)

• Technical documentation and production tracking

• Tree propagation techniques (especially rooting from cuttings)

• Rocket science and scientific hobby projects
