About
My foundation is hands-on security work. At KPMG I grew from IT advisory in Turkey to leading vulnerability assessments, penetration testing and security risk engagements in Canada, testing web, API, mobile and cloud environments against NIST, OWASP, ISO 27001 and MITRE ATT&CK, and translating findings into remediation roadmaps executives could act on.
At Qualys the focus shifted from assessing security to sustaining it: first as Technical Account Manager for enterprise post-sales, driving outcomes for Canada's largest accounts, and now as Team Lead. The thread through both is the same: deep technical judgement, applied at enterprise scale, in service of long-term client trust.
