  • Monday Interview - M.Ufuk TATLIDIL

    (English, Turkish just below)

    Hello Wiki ninjas and TechNet readers,

    Welcome to another Turkish Avengers Team’s interview.

    Today I want to introduce an Exchange Server Professional in Turkey. This is M.Ufuk TATLIDIL

    He writes articles about Exchange Server for a long time. Maybe you read also Ufuk’s articles.

    For this reason, I think you want to know about M.Ufuk TATLIDIL so I want to share Ufuk’s interview with you.

     

    (Turkish)

    Merhaba Wiki Ninjalar ve TechNet okuyucuları, Birbaşka Turkish Avengers Team’in röpörtajına hoşgeldiniz.

    Bugün sizlere Türkiyeden bir Exchange Server Profesyonelini tanıtmak istiyorum. Yani M.Ufuk TATLIDIL.

    Uzun zamandan buyana Exchange Server hakkında makaleler yazıyor. Belki sizde Ufuk’un makalelerini okumuşsunuzdur.

    Bu sebeple Ufuk’u tanımak istiyeceğinizi düşünüyorum, bu yüzden Ufuk’un röpörtajını sizlerle paylaşmak istiyorum.


    Who are you, where are you and what do you do? What are your specialty technologies?

    Hi, I’m M.Ufuk TATLIDIL. I live in Istanbul / TURKEY. I graduated Istanbul University of Computer Engineering Department. I have been working for 15 years as a professional in the computing industry.
    Now, I’m working at a prominent Logistics company in Turkey, as a IT Manager. Also, I am offering consultancy services to various companies. My areas of interest and expertise are: Unified Communication (Exchange Server, Lync Server, Active Directory). My main area of expertise, Microsoft Exchange Systems.


    Turkish: Merhaba, ben Ufuk TATLIDIL. Istanbul /TÜRKİYE’ de yasıyorum. İstanbul Üniversitesi Bilgisayar Mühendisligi bölümünü okudum. Profesyonel olarak 15 yıldır IT sektörü içerisindeyim. Suanda sektöründe öncü bir Lojistik firmasında Bilgi İslem Müdürü olarak çalısmaktayım. Uzmanlık alanlarım; Unified Communication (Exchange Server, Lync Server, Active Directory) Asıl uzmanlıgım Microsoft Exchange sistemi’ dir.

    What are your big projects right now?
    I have a lot of installation and migration projects I'm working on. Turkish banks computer systems of major infrastructure installations, Exchange Server Planning, Installation and Migration processes. Many corporate companies and configuration of the Exchange Server Cluster took part in the installation of infrastructure.


    Turkish: Birçok kurulum ve migration projesi gerçeklestirdim. Türkiyede ki bir çok Bankanın Bilgisayar
    altyapısını, bir çok kurumsal firmanın Exchange Server Migration ve Cluster yapı projelerinde görev aldım.


    Besides your work on TechNet Wiki, where do you contribute?
    As well as Technet Wiki, I’m writing and sharing my knowledge and experience on my personal blog
    and these other web sites:

    www.MsExchangeTR.org
    www.Get-ExchangeServer.com
    www.cozumpark.com


    Turkish: Technet Wiki’nin yanı sıra

    tecrübelerimi paylasmaktayım.

    What is TechNet Wiki for? Who is it for?
    I think The Technet Wiki is like a published library. And as the days have passed, the sharing of
    content for IT professionals continues to grow.


    Turkish: Technet Wiki açık bir kütüphane gibi, gün geçtikte biz IT uzmanlarının paylasımı ile de daha
    da büyümektedir.


    What is it about TechNet Wiki that interests you?
    The Technet Wiki is the primary information resource for all IT professionals. Because, in here, who has shared and written? Microsoft personnel are sharing first-hand, as well as knowledgeable experts working on Microsoft technologies, and they share their experiences on TechNet Wiki; that's the place where I see them all sharing. As time progresses, the Technet Wiki for Turkey content also will grow; I think that more Turkish content will come your way!


    Turkish: Wiki tüm IT uzmanlarının öncelikli kaynagı. Çünkü burada paylasılanlar ve yazılanlar gerek Microsoft personelllerinin paylasımı olarak birinci agızdan, gerekse Microsoft teknolojileri üzerine çalısan uzmanların bilgi birikim ve tecrübelerini paylastıgı yer olarak görmekteyim. Zaman ilerledikçe Technet Wiki Türkiye içeriginin de daha fazla yol kat edecegini düsünüyorum.
