Cybersecurity Workshops – SUCyber

Workshops, Sabancı University, 2021

As a co-founder and co-lead of SUCyber, the cybersecurity student association of Sabancı University, I organized and delivered 8-week hands-on cybersecurity workshops each semester. The workshops covered topics such as Linux fundamentals, network security, web exploitation, reverse engineering, and digital forensics. In addition, I co-led the university’s Capture the Flag (CTF) team and coordinated annual CTF competitions (2021–2023) by designing and deploying original challenges across categories including web, pwn, reverse engineering, OSINT, and forensics.
