With a background in law from Turkey and a passion for technology, I moved to the U.S. in 2023 to pursue a Computer Science degree at SNHU. My legal background gives me a unique perspective on cybersecurity — understanding compliance, digital forensics, and the legal implications of cyber incidents. Currently building hands-on skills toward a SOC Analyst role.
I'm a Computer Science senior at SNHU specializing in cybersecurity, expecting to graduate in June 2027. Originally from Turkey with a law degree, I made the move to the U.S. in 2023 for better education and professional opportunities.
My legal background is more than just a career pivot — it directly strengthens my cybersecurity work. Understanding compliance frameworks, chain of custody, and the legal side of incidents is something many technical candidates lack.
I'm actively pursuing my Security+ and CySA+ certifications while practicing daily on TryHackMe's SOC Level 1 path. My target: a SOC Analyst role by late 2027.
Working through the SOC Level 1 learning path — covering network analysis, SIEM tools, threat intelligence, and incident response scenarios.
Building a home SIEM lab using Splunk on Ubuntu. Planned to ingest Windows event logs and simulate basic attack detection scenarios.
Senior capstone project at SNHU framed around a SOC use case — combining software security principles with real-world blue team operations.
I document everything I learn — from TryHackMe rooms to Google Cybersecurity courses. Writing helps me retain knowledge and shows my learning process to anyone who's interested.
I'm actively building my cybersecurity skillset and open to internship opportunities, mentorship, and networking within the security community. Feel free to reach out.
