01 / About
Offensive security consultant specialising in red team operations and penetration testing, operating within IBM X-Force Red — one of the most respected adversarial security teams in the industry. Conducts enterprise-level assessments across aviation, energy, oil & gas, and financial sectors, with a track record of identifying vulnerabilities with proven operational and financial impact across live, production-grade enterprise environments.
Speaker at MITRE ATT&CKcon 6.0 in McLean, Virginia, presenting Human-First Tactics: Red Teaming Where Automation Fails — a session exploring the critical gaps where human intuition, creativity, and adaptability outperform automated tooling, and why operator expertise remains the irreplaceable core of effective offensive security operations.
Holds a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering and a Master's degree in Cybersecurity from Bahçeşehir University.
Outside of offensive work: distance runner, sailor, occasional trekker on the Lycian Way, amateur astronomer with a keen interest in space exploration, and a frequent traveller rarely found in one place for long.
02 / Expertise
Full-scope adversarial simulations modelled on real-world threat actors. Attack path development from initial access through persistence and objective completion — no guardrails, no predefined scope limits.
Targeted assessments across web applications, APIs, and enterprise infrastructure. Complex multi-step vulnerability chains, business logic abuse, and Active Directory exploitation under realistic conditions.
Where scanners stop, the real work starts. Manual vulnerability research, creative attack chaining, and detection evasion built on operator judgment — the thesis behind the ATT&CKcon 6.0 talk.
