I was born in Izmir in 1988. I'd held various commercial and professional roles, including working in my family business, for over five years. During this time, I also wrote some books and articles. I earned a master’s degree with a thesis on the Ottoman military revolution and public reforms.I had a scholarship from the Turkish Historical Institution and an overseas academic research grant from TÜBİTAK. I also obtained certificates from institutions such as Yale University and the History Foundation (Turkey), attending their seminars.Currently, I am pursuing my doctoral studies in history at Dokuz Eylül University. I am working as a visiting researcher at Columbia University in New York and continue to write a column for Yenigün Newspaper in Turkey.
