About

I am an aspiring finance professional with a strong interest in the integration of finance, economics, and information systems. I study Economics & Finance and pursue a double major in MIS at Gelişim University. I have built practical experience through internships at Ziraat Participation Bank (Corporate Loans), Borsa Istanbul (Derivatives Market), and Halkbank (Credit Operations). These experiences allowed me to observe firsthand how data, regulation, and technology interact in real-world financial environments. Feel free to reach out if you’re interested in sharing insights, building connections, or discussing projects in finance and fintech.
