What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can support privacy and compliance work end-to-end—GDPR/PII risk assessment, cross-border data transfer guidance, and AI governance research—while translating legal requirements into actionable policies for cross-functional teams.

I am a Turkish-qualified attorney and legal researcher specializing in privacy, PII compliance, and legal research across GDPR, KVKK, and cross-border data transfer regimes. I translate complex legal requirements into clear compliance-oriented policies, memoranda, and practical guidance, with a strong focus on identifying regulatory and privacy risks in sensitive environments.

In my recent role as a Research Fellow at NATO, I conducted comparative research on AI governance and data-related regulatory frameworks, producing analytical reports and concise legal summaries for institutional stakeholders. Previously, as an Attorney at Law at Bulut Studio Legale, I reviewed and drafted commercial agreements and compliance materials for Italy–Türkiye matters, supported contract negotiations, and performed legal due diligence on sensitive corporate documentation—ensuring documentation quality for cross-functional and international collaboration.
