Open to internships & collaborations

Hi, I'm

Mert Sert

Cybersecurity Engineering Student & Full-Stack Developer

I investigate attack surfaces and build systems designed to withstand adversarial conditions — combining offensive security research with production-grade engineering. METU / ODTÜ.

About

Background

I'm a Cybersecurity Engineering student at METU / ODTÜ — one of Turkey's most selective technical universities. My work sits at the intersection of offensive security research, systems design, and production software engineering.

I've shipped software across multiple domains: an encrypted P2P file-transfer network, a cryptographic certificate authority pipeline, an iOS system-level modification, and a cross-platform university mobile app — every project built with the question "how would an adversary break this?" in mind.

I've also served as a technical lead in one of Turkey's largest engineering communities — managing hardware, mobile, and software verticals for thousands of practitioners.

Secure by Design

Every architecture decision is evaluated through an adversarial lens before code is written.

Cross-Stack

From C/C++ and Go at the systems layer to React and Flutter at the surface.

Community Impact

Technical lead in one of Turkey's largest engineering communities.
