about me

Suit up! You’re about to meet the legend—wait for it—dary legendary network, security and automation engineer! 

If you haven’t already left the page, then it’s time to tell the truth. I’m not legendary unless you’re seeing me through my mom’s eyes or my wife’s, but I’m working on it. I’m Umut, and I do magic for living some still call that network engineering tho.

From working shifts , mitigating DDoS attacks and writing scripts to ISP customer network automations at Turkcell, to solving security puzzles at Intertech and even founding and co-writing a Fortinet rule automation tool. Further, deploying and verifying new network designs at A10 Networks to managing and securing global networks for ING, I’ve tackled every challenge with sticking to the company guidelines like Barney sticks to the playbook. I wish my scripts could match the quality of my memes, and I’m actively working to improve that skill.

This site is a hobby of mine. In my free time I like to write, read and camp. I’m also an amateur photographer (can press the shutter and according to the linkedin this makes me an amateur photographer) but this is another story. Maybe in future I can share my photos from here as well.

You can connect with me via LinkedIn or contact me via the form in the website.

I would like to see the manager!
