I’m an 18-year-old young person with big dreams. I graduated at the top of my class from the Information Technologies Department of a vocational high school in Kastamonu. Currently, I am studying Computer Programming at Kastamonu University. I have been deeply interested in software development since I was 13 years old and have gained experience in many programming languages.

At the age of 14, I founded a community of 8,500 members and achieved significant accomplishments on the internet. I discovered data breaches in large companies such as Netflix and reported them, helping these organizations identify and fix security vulnerabilities. As a result of these efforts, I received appreciation messages and collaborated with various institutions of the Republic of Turkey.

Additionally, at the age of 14, I began launching major initiatives. I actively participate in many technology events across Turkey, have been a volunteer at the T3 Foundation for two years, and have worked on projects at Teknofest. I have visited three countries and completed a three-week internship in Europe focused on telecommunication technologies and NATO military technology. At the end of this internship, I was awarded a Europass certificate.

I currently own three companies:

A news agency An organization conducting software and scientific experiments A company involved in trade

Despite financial challenges, I continue to develop my companies and carry out major international scientific and software projects. I actively participate in events organized by institutions such as Google Developer Clubs and BTK Academy in Turkey, and I receive invitations to events from all around the world.

My future goal is to study Computer Engineering in Istanbul and pursue my Ph.D. in the United States. Afterwards, I aim to carry out strong projects within my companies and achieve world-first innovations. As a hobby, I have a deep appreciation for art and spend time engaging with it. I am also writing my life story as a novel.

Sincerely, Turgut
