About
Born in Türkiye in 1991, married and a father of one. I have spent the last 11+ years in the security and surveillance industry, and today I lead global B2B sales at Grundig Security out of Germany. Along the way I spent nearly three years in China managing camera procurement and factory relationships, learned the OEM and ODM manufacturing world from the inside, and built a distribution network across EMEA, MENA, and Asia.
Today I am focused on the fields shaping the next generation of security: Video Management Software, PSIM, and Computer Vision. My focus now is on building the safe cities of the future.

Check Out the Projects I Have Recently Completed or Contributed To
From small applications to massive facilities, universities, and smart cities, I have been part of many Video Management System projects.
From time to time, I have developed my own custom modules tailored to specific projects.
I also have personal hobby projects focused on Computer Vision systems and software.
Here are a few of my favorites.
A massive, living project delivered with Axxonsoft, where I managed the entire lifecycle from the sales phase through project management, integrations, and training. Tens of thousands of cameras, fire detection, access control, and automation systems, all AI-powered and unified under a single platform.
My Journey
Twelve years in security, told not as a resume but as a story. Factory floors in China, project sites across EMEA and MENA, and the move to Germany. Each stop shaped how I think about technology, people, and building things that last.
