Hey everyone,

I'm 25 and from Turkey. I'm actually a computer engineer and worked as a software developer for about 2 years. After completing my mandatory military service, I couldn't find another job in software, so I decided to try welding.

I had zero welding experience before starting at a trailer manufacturing company.

I worked there for 7 months. I started with steel chassis fabrication, mostly doing MIG/MAG welding. Over time, I got more comfortable with it and felt like I was improving.

Later, they told me they wanted to move me to the robotic aluminum welding department. But before that, they put me on aluminum fabrication for fuel tankers so I could get used to welding aluminum by hand.

That's where I learned more about aluminum MIG welding, weaving techniques, filling gaps, etc.…
