--- SUMMARY ---
Internet, electronic devices, new technologies… I eat, drink, breathe and live these. I am lucky enough to have a job that is closely related to these fields and hope to continue my professional life in companies where I can take charge of the creation and management of business systems focused on these fields as well.
I was initially educated as an engineer, I then started my professional life in the business side where my technical knowledge helps Garanti Bank a great deal in bridging the gap between the business and technology departments as business systems become more and more complex every day.
Thanks to my education I have a pretty international background. I studied in Mexico for one year at the age of 14 via the Rotary Youth Exchange Program, attended an international high school, finished university in Canada and topped it all up with an Executive MBA degree from Boğaziçi University in Istanbul. I am bilingual in English and Turkish and fluent in French and Spanish.
