What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead enterprise IT that blends infrastructure, cloud security, and IT governance—ensuring GDPR/PCI/financial compliance, business continuity, and resilient 24/7 monitoring. I want to drive automation and AI to improve operational efficiency and security posture.

I’m a technology and IT leader with 20+ years of experience across enterprise infrastructure, cloud, cybersecurity, fintech, and crypto systems. I’m known for leading regulatory compliance (GDPR, PCI-DSS, BDDK, KVKK, KYC, AML, ISO 27001), business continuity, and AI-driven automation in mission-critical environments.

In my recent roles as Head of IT and Head of System & Network, I’ve overseen IT/security architecture and end-to-end infrastructure lifecycle management, including Active Directory, MFA/SSO, SIEM, endpoint and network hardening, hybrid cloud, and disaster recovery. I also build resilient 24/7 monitoring models, align delivery with ITIL/SLA governance, and strengthen security posture through close coordination with SecOps, InfoSec, and DB Ops teams.
