About

Computer Engineering student at Istanbul Technical University (class of 2027), with a background in Industrial Automation from Kocaeli ENKA Technical Schools. At Doğuş Teknoloji I worked across SIEM, SOAR, EDR and NDR platforms — L1 incident response, SOAR playbook writing (including phishing playbooks), EDR alert tuning, and IT/OT segmentation. I'm now a part-time SOC Analyst Intern at Fibabanka, supporting daily alert triage, CTI feed review and firewall log analysis in a BDDK-regulated banking environment. I think in MITRE ATT&CK and believe the best defense is understanding the offense.
