He recently created a new publication called The Lampshade of Illumination to host articles by writers using artificial intelligence tools.
We introduced many editors and left his introduction towards the end as he is extremely busy with a full-time job and orchestrating the excessive workload of his seven publications. We are grateful for his vision to start this initiative by introducing our editors to writers and readers.
Dr. Yildiz is a technologist who worked for over 40 years for large organizations like IBM, Siemens, Microsoft, NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization), and several financial institutes and banks globally.
He started working as a systems engineer and information officer responsible for administering supercomputers in the early 1980s when he obtained his first degree in Informatics with a scholarship.
He has a well-established academic background with a professional doctorate degree with dissertations in cross disciplines, including cognitive science, information technology, education, business, and leadership, from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Australia.
He completed his master’s degree at Monash University and a postgraduate diploma at The University of Melbourne in Australia.
As an academic investigator and adjunct professor, he continues his research in cognitive science and technology fields as a postdoctoral researcher supervising theses of Ph.D. students in several universities and serving in ethics communities for emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, quantum computing, and biotechnology.
In addition, he is currently working as a technology consultant, business architect, and enterprise architect for large corporate organizations advising his clients on emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, the Internet of Things, Cloud and Edge Computing, Big Data Analytics, Cybersecurity, Digital Transformation, and Quantum Computing.
Dr. Yildiz is also an inventor with multiple patents filed in the United States Patent Office. His inventions are owned by IBM Corporation, where he worked for 22 years until December 2020.
Supporting many clients in IBM and participating in many large international conferences and symposiums, he developed a large network and client mailing list.
He is semi-retired from the corporate world, continuing his industry service as an executive technology consultant for private clients. Dr. Yildiz recently shared his perspective on his 40 years of employment in corporate organizations.
As an inventor, his most outstanding patent is Method and System for Providing Immunity to Computers, a new paradigm in the industry.
In addition to his academic and technical papers published in peer-reviewed journals, he is also a blogger for over two decades, posting more than 5,000 blog posts.
He walks his talk as a writer and editor, inspiring contributors to his publications and his valued readers. His professional background can be found on his website.
Dr. Yildiz has been active in social media since the inception of the Internet, collaborating on multiple platforms. His media posts receive over four million views monthly.
He designed several social media modules using different communication protocols and tools as a system engineer in the early 1990s. He transferred his skills to amplify the messages published in his publications.
Dr. Yildiz also authored ten books related to emerging technologies sold in many bookstores globally, and some were translated into major languages.
He also authored a concise personal development book sharing his health transformation, which became a best seller in several countries in 2019 and 2020. You can read chapters of his books free on Medium.
From a financial research perspective, his recent focus is on the blockchain, crypto, FinTech, ICOs, NFTs, and digital finance. He enjoys informing his readers on financial intelligence, investment opportunities, and money matters, including recent trends like cryptocurrencies and Non-Fungible Tokens.
Dr. Yildiz lives in Australia with his family. He described his country in a recent story. He traveled to over 50 countries working and living in some of them. As he traveled extensively, one of his writing goals in 2022 is to post travel stories based on his observations and experiences.
Here are a few sample travel stories from his collection:

Dr Mehmet Yildiz joined Medium in 2019 and posted 2500+ articles that received millions of views. As an avid reader, he engages other writers’ stories on Medium and has left around 20,000 positive comments.
He founded Illumination publication in March 2020 when the Covid pandemic started. Currently, 128 volunteer editors support his seven publications. He is grateful for the support of volunteer editors.
His primary purpose is to guide writers to gain visibility, get more readers and increase their income. To improve the capabilities of the platform, he established a virtual collaboration workspace using Slack with his personal funds. The services he provides are free as his giveback to the community.
Dr. Yildiz established his publications on the values of diversity, inclusion, synergy, and creating serendipity for fusion, which is an advanced form of collaboration in his philosophy.
In addition to technology and leadership, Dr. Yildiz also conducts literature reviews on health, fitness, mental health, and lifestyle topics.
Since he had several health issues in his younger years, he took responsibility for his health and transformed it into an optimal state. Therefore, he intensely writes about health, fitness, and lifestyle topics. He hosts his personal transformation stories in his publication Euphoria.
Dr Yildiz has an interesting lifestyle. His dietary regimen is unusual. For example, he survived and thrived by eating one meal a day over the last 15 years. He shared his experience in a recent story.
He also writes for NewsBreak, and Vocal Media. His writing style is plain. Refraining from perfection, he pragmatically focuses on clarity, brevity, and impact in his writing.
He encouraged many writers to post their profiles in his publications. After a year, he also posted his belated writer bio to Illumination and About Me Stories publication on Medium.
When we asked him the secret to his achievements and prolific writing, he mentioned passion for learning, cognitive flexibility, attention, and focus on his tasks working with the flow state, refraining from perfection, fitness, daily fasting, and using his time diligently managing his priorities.
Using his collaboration skills, Dr. Yildiz featured and interviewed many writers introducing them to new readers.
It was challenging to select representative content from his over 2,000 articles on Medium. Thus, we categorized his main topics and provided a few sample stories from his vast portfolio to give you a quick taste.
He publishes his lifestyle, health, and well-being stories on EUPHORIA.
