What I'm looking for

I seek a role leading IT and cybersecurity initiatives in a collaborative, learning-focused organization where I can drive digital transformation, automation, and measurable risk reduction.

I am an IT manager and cybersecurity-minded technologist with a broad multidisciplinary background spanning technology, business analysis, digital transformation, and education.

At Afro Asian University I managed network security, cloud systems, and software deployments, developed cybersecurity policies that reduced system vulnerabilities by 40%, and led automation initiatives to improve operational efficiency.

I support strategic IT planning and digital system integration for international educational initiatives and have contributed to inter-university collaboration projects and IT operations across multiple organizations, including roles in Türkiye.

I hold extensive continuous-learning credentials (150+ certifications across cloud, cybersecurity, AI, project management, and digital tools) and I seek roles where I can apply technical leadership, process optimization, and cross-functional collaboration to drive measurable impact.
