I’m a security engineer at Databricks, focused on product security and agentic systems. Before that, I worked in security engineering at Facebook and Microsoft, across vulnerability research and software security. Lately I’m most interested in how AI is changing the way we build and secure software, and in how we secure the AI systems themselves.

I got into technology early. At 13, I started programming on my first computer, an Intel Celeron 600: first Visual Basic 6, then HTML, JavaScript, ASP, and PHP. I went on to study computer engineering at Gebze Technical University, then began my career at Netsparker (now Invicti), doing vulnerability research and black-box web application scanning.
