About

I am a Network Security Specialist with hands-on experience in designing secure infrastructures, implementing zero-trust architectures, and managing enterprise-grade cybersecurity solutions. At Noranet, I contribute to projects involving firewall management, DNS security, and network segmentation, while also engaging in presales and client-facing roles. Beyond my technical expertise, I am an entrepreneur and content creator. As the Co-Founder of Gioia (e-commerce brand) and Z Raporu (Gen Z podcast), I actively lead digital marketing, brand building, and strategic growth initiatives. With multiple Cisco, Fortinet, and Claroty certifications, I bridge the gap between technical security architecture and business impact, aiming to deliver both robust infrastructures and innovative solutions. My long-term goal is to advance in cybersecurity leadership while scaling entrepreneurial projects that connect technology with people.
