About Me
This will be a place of mine to share my thoughts, ideas, and experiences. You can expect to find posts about Software Engineering, Productivity, Gaming and other Tech related topics here.
$ whoami
As you probably already have guessed, my name is Berkan. I'm a 23 year old Software Engineer based in Denmark, specializing in building (and occasionally designing) websites, applications, and everything in between.
In the past couple of years, I've also been busy broadening my knowledge in the field of Cybersecurity. Especially Digital Forensics, Web Exploitation and Reverse Engineering have caught my interest, which is also why I spend most of my time learning these topics.
Getting into cybersecurity is difficult as there is a lot to learn, while almost no collection or understandable resources exist. That's why I decided to create Cybersecurity, which is a collection of essential and foundational cybersecurity knowledge, thoughtfully organized for easy comprehension to passionate learners. I want to emphasise that I am no expert and are also in the beggining of my journey.
See all of my other projects here.
Other than my tech life, I'm also a huge fan of gaming, music, art and personal development.
