About me

I'm a final-year software-engineering student in İstanbul who fell for offensive security and never looked back. My software background means I'm comfortable reading and writing code, which I lean on when I'm breaking web apps.

I'm certified across web, network and AI/ML pentesting, and I'm especially drawn to AI/ML security— a niche that's only getting bigger. Right now I'm sharpening web exploitation while preparing for HackTheBox CWES.

Everything I learn turns into a writeup. I'm looking for a junior pentester role (Türkiye or remote) where I can keep leveling up fast.
