Offensive Security & Bug Bounty Professional | Top 3 Synack Researcher (All Time) | $2M+ Earned

About Me

I’m a cybersecurity expert with 10+ years of experience in offensive security, bug hunting, and consulting. I currently rank among Synack’s Top 3 researchers of all time, with over 2000 accepted vulnerabilities — including more than 250 critical findings — across 700+ projects for 200 unique clients. I hold OSCP and OSWE certifications, and have earned Synack’s highest honors: the TITAN title for top annual performance (awarded 4 times in the last 5 years), and LEGEND status for fulfilling all 5 elite criteria — a lifetime achievement held by only three people globally.

Beyond hands-on work, I actively contribute to the security community through technical blogging, public speaking, and university-level instruction. For four years, I taught undergraduate courses such as “Introduction to Cybersecurity” and “Web Application Hacking” at two prestigious universities in Istanbul. As a Synack Circle of Trust member, I advise on platform changes and researcher experience. I’ve helped 20+ new researchers join via the Envoy program and mentor 4–5 SRTs long-term. I’ve represented Synack at global live events (Mexico, Bali, Costa Rica, Portugal), engaged in an on-site client project in Hong Kong, spoke at Black Hat, supported the booth, contributed to Synack’s blogs, podcasts, and spotlight interviews, and appeared on their homepage as one of the faces of the SRT. I also organized the first official global SRT hangout to foster community engagement and collaboration.
