“Build things that matter. Secure the things you build.”
I'm a Software Engineer working at the intersection of AI and cybersecurity. I build full-stack systems — mobile apps with React Native, backends with Spring Boot and FastAPI, deployed on AWS — and I research adversarial robustness, malware detection, and BCI signal processing.
Alongside engineering, I run Selmorica, my own e-commerce brand on Trendyol — because the best way to understand product is to ship one. I care about writing code that holds up under pressure, scrutiny, and time.
Focus
Working at the intersection of AI and cybersecurity — because the systems we ship to production must be tested against attackers before attackers find them first.
Entrepreneurial Spirit
Not only consuming technology, but shipping it. Started Selmorica while still in university — the best way to learn to build products is to run one.
Depth Over Speed
Shipping fast matters, but truly understanding what I build matters more. I read every line I commit and can defend every design choice.
Craftsmanship
Clean, maintainable, scalable code — not as a slogan, but as the foundation that lets small teams ship big things.
