MOOC I : Personal Branding – Anıl Esen

What I learnt from this MOOC is, personal branding is the practice of promoting oneself and one’s career as a brand. This can involve highlighting one’s unique skills and experiences, as well as creating a strong and consistent online presence through platforms such as social media and professional networking sites. Personal branding can be beneficial because it can help individuals stand out in a crowded job market and gain recognition for their expertise in a particular field.

It can also help them build a positive reputation, which can open up opportunities for career advancement and personal growth. Ultimately, personal branding is a valuable tool for individuals to effectively market themselves and their careers.

Anıl Esen

Hey reader, welcome to blog of Anıl Esen. I am a mineral processing engineer, and now in the second year of master’s program on Circular Economy : Minerals and Construction Products. Last year, our courses on LCA and entrepreneurship broadened my horizons and revealed my potential (No, I won’t remember organic chemistry especially the HOMO-LUMO parts.) Not only the courses, but also the difficulties I haven’t faced before, in retrospect, changed how I view myself and life. For example now, I know that I won’t ever live in a 9 sqm room again (except a jail in parallel universe, god save us).

Goncharov : a good starting point for avid reading

I like questions more than answers, thus I love philosophy with it’s all types. If you are interested in philosophy or reading in general, but are unsure where to begin among the innumerable books available, I recommend that you begin with Russian literature to guide you, as it did for me.

I also like to read different kinds of books on psychology, literature, investing, and science of course. I am a fan of blues and different varieties of rock music like classic, psychedelic or stoner rock. Waking up early to go to gym is the routine which I adapted, so I probably won’t go to F*cking Monday (a nightclub in Madrid) on Monday nights 🙂 (Linda ummh sorry)


3D Concrete Printing, now and in the future

You’ll probably remember Anıl in the future as the “3D printing guy” who is passionate about robotics, AI, and 3d printing in construction sector. I regularly read on these topics and follow the updates around the world. Me and my dear colleague Gigi (a.k.a. L.A.P.) thus have a startup project on 3DCP which has a high potential of rising as a unicorn if we keep working on it. Please let me know if we share similar interests, and don’t forget to connect on LinkedIn!

Best of you, memento mori.
