Journey & Milestones
Where I've been, what I've built
A timeline of the moments that shaped my path into technology. Each step, even the hard ones, added something I carry into my work today.
| Year | Milestone |
|---|---|
| 2016 | A turning point in Turkey. My family faced political persecution; I learned resilience at eleven. |
| 2020 | Working at fourteen. Balanced full-time work with online high school during the pandemic. |
| 2021 | A new start. My family was forced to leave Turkey; we relocated to Georgia. |
| 2022 | High school graduate — with honors. Finished school in Georgia at sixteen with top marks. |
| 2022 | Arrived in the United States. Began full-time warehouse work — processing 2,000–3,000 orders a day — to support my family. |
| 2024 | Campus IT Specialist. Hired into hands-on IT and infrastructure support at Harmony Public Schools. |
| 2025 | University of Massachusetts Global. Began my Information Technology degree with a focus on Network Engineering. |
| Now | Always building. Deepening Network Engineering skills — structured cabling, TCP/IP, Cisco environments, Azure AD, and Linux/SSH — and working toward CompTIA A+ and Network+. |
