Projects

Earthquake Prediction Model with Machine Learning

In this project, I applied machine learning and data processing techniques to analyze earthquakes in Turkiye and predict the magnitude and time range of future earthquakes. I processed data obtained from the Kandilli Observatory by matching geographic coordinates with provinces, cleaning the data, and training predictive models.

Bibilet - Ticketing Application

BiBilet is an online ticketing system that I developed using PHP, PostgreSQL, AJAX, Bootstrap and JavaScript. On the backend, I built a secure and efficient data management structure with PHP and PostgreSQL, while using SQL queries to handle user operations and trip management. To ensure secure user session management, I implemented Session Management mechanisms. With JavaScript and AJAX integration, I enabled dynamic data exchange without requiring page refreshes, enhancing the user experience. Using Bootstrap and CSS, I designed a modern, responsive, and user-friendly interface, ensuring a seamless experience across different devices.

Shopping App with C

I developed a console-based shopping application. Through this project, I learned and applied fundamental programming concepts such as controlled user input, menu-based interactive systems, conditional statements, and loop structures. I practiced data processing, variable management, and menu navigation using while and for loops. Additionally, I gained experience in modeling logical operations in programming, such as error handling, user guidance, basic calculations, and discount mechanisms.

Wordlist Generator

I developed this project to create targeted wordlists while improving myself in the field of ethical hacking. At the same time, this project allowed me to learn and reinforce my knowledge of the Python programming language. It was designed for those who are looking for a more concise and targeted password list instead of large-scale standard wordlists like RockYou, commonly used in brute-force attacks.

Network Architecture Design for a Medium-Sized Companies

I developed this project to design, implement, and manage the network infrastructure of a textile company. I had the opportunity to apply concepts such as network topology design, VLAN configuration, routing (OSPF and static), ACL-based security policies, and server setups. I worked on establishing communication between different branches, optimizing network traffic, and enhancing security through access control mechanisms. Using Cisco Packet Tracer, I created a realistic network simulation, tested various scenarios, and improved my practical network management and troubleshooting skills.

Technologies

HTML5 & CSS3 & Javascript

-I structured the webpage using HTML.
-I used CSS to define the layout and appearance of the page.
-I utilized JavaScript to make the page dynamic and interactive, as well as to implement the visitor counter located at the bottom left.

Python

I have had the opportunity to use this technology in the fields of Data Science, Machine Learning, API Development, Image Processing, and Cybersecurity. Through the projects I developed, I gained experience in data processing, machine learning, API development, and automation. I worked on building RESTful APIs with Flask, data collection and processing (web scraping, pandas, NumPy), and training machine learning models (scikit-learn, RandomForest, RandomClassifier). Additionally, I practiced targeted wordlist generation, password prediction, and network security in the field of cybersecurity.

C and C++

I have experience in developing console-based applications using C and C++, focusing on memory management and algorithm optimization. Through the shopping application I developed using C:
- I processed user inputs to create a menu-based system.
- I dynamically handled data using file and memory management.
- I designed an interactive user experience with conditional statements and loop structures.
- I implemented logical operations such as error handling.
With C++, I have experience in developing more modular and scalable applications by utilizing object-oriented programming (OOP) principles. Additionally, I have optimized data structures using structs and pointers, and effectively managed memory allocation with dynamic memory management techniques.

Arduino

I have taken an Introduction to Embedded Systems course. In this course:
- I developed applications that control hardware components such as sensors, motors, and displays.
- I worked with communication protocols such as PWM, I²C, and GPIO.
- I effectively used development environments like Arduino IDE and Proteus.

PHP

I have experience in developing dynamic web applications using PHP. Specifically, in the BiBilet project, I developed a fully functional ticketing system using PHP and PostgreSQL. During this process:
- I ensured secure and efficient data management with PHP and PostgreSQL.
- I implemented session management to enhance secure user authentication and session handling.
- I managed user login/logout operations using form processing and data validation techniques, minimizing vulnerabilities.
- I wrote SQL Injection-protected queries using PDO and optimized database access.
- I integrated AJAX and JavaScript for dynamic data updates.

SQL

I have improved my SQL knowledge in database management and query optimization. During this process:
- I worked with PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and SQLite.
- I used PostgreSQL in the BiBilet project, while this web page you are viewing was developed using SQLite.
- I worked on database design, relational data modeling, and normalization to optimize performance.
- I learned and applied database performance-enhancing techniques such as Triggers, Stored Procedures.
- I implemented user authorization and access controls to ensure data security.

Experiences

Summer Work And Travel - 2023

I was employed as a full-time lifeguard at Loews Hotels, CO from June to October 2023 in Florida, United States.

Summer Work And Travel - 2024

I was employed as a full-time crew member at Courtesy Corporation from June to October 2024 in Wisconsin, United States.

Erasmus+ Student Exchange Program (Romania)

I participated in the Erasmus+ student exchange program, with the first stage taking place in Ploiesti, Romania in June 2019 and the second stage in Sinop, Turkiye in August 2019

Erasmus+ Student Exchange Program (Poland)

I served as a soloist in the Erasmus+ program 'Muzolingua International,' held in Krakow, Poland in January 2024.

BTK Cyber Security Summer Camp

I participated in the cyber security summer camp organized by BTK in Samsun, Turkiye in August 2022. In this course, under the guidance of my instructors, Ms. Betül Denizler and Mr. Resul Melih Macit, I learned the fundamentals of cyber security, basic Linux usage, vulnerability research on virtual machines, and how to exploit these vulnerabilities.

TCSC Hands-on Penetration Testing Training

Between December 2024 and January 2025, I attended a hands-on penetration testing training at the Turkiye Cyber Security Cluster office in Ankara, conducted by my instructor Uygar Koroğlu. During this training, I learned the fundamentals of networking, the tools used in penetration testing, and how to apply them in practice. Additionally, I solved CTF challenges on live systems. This course taught me how to interpret the information gathered during a penetration test and how to take appropriate actions based on these findings.

SiberVatan Web Security Training

I participated in the Web Security training of the SiberVatan program, which was held at Gazi University for 1 week in February 2025.
