About Me

I'm Erdoğan — an IT infrastructure and cybersecurity professional with 10+ years of hands-on experience across some of Turkey's largest enterprises. I currently live and work in Dubai, UAE, where I'm focused on building my career in the region's fast-growing tech ecosystem.

My background spans on-premises and cloud infrastructure, virtualization, SIEM operations, privileged access control, and disaster recovery. I've worked across banking, aviation, and conglomerates — environments where systems can't go down and security isn't optional. I hold an MSc in Cyber Security from Marmara University.

Outside of work, I'm into mobile app development, blogging, and exploring what Dubai has to offer. This site is where I share what I've learned — not polished theory, but real notes from real deployments.
