I was born in Istanbul in 1965. I graduated from Istanbul Technical University, Department of Control and Computer Engineering in 1987. I completed my military service at the Naval Forces Golcuk Data Processing Command.

I spent most of my career in Bursa and returned to Istanbul in 2013. I have over 35 years of experience in software development, system administration, and IT organization at national and international companies.

I am married and have a daughter born in 2000. My interests include outdoor sports, photography, music, chess, and travel.
