What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters innovation and collaboration in cyber security.

I am a dedicated cyber security professional currently pursuing my Master's degree at the University of Kent, building on my foundational knowledge from my Computer Information System degree at Near East University. My journey in cyber security began with a passion for technology and a desire to protect digital assets, which has led me to work on significant international projects at GUNSEL Electric Car Production Factory.

During my tenure at GUNSEL, I advanced to the role of Team Leader, where I contributed to TÜBİTAK projects as a cyber security expert. My certifications in Cyber Security Expertise, Ethical Hacking, and Penetration Testing, among others, have equipped me with the skills necessary to tackle complex security challenges. I am particularly proud of my ongoing project, which integrates artificial intelligence to enhance cyber security tools, reflecting my commitment to innovation in this field.
