About Arekan
One Team. Software, AI & Security.
Who We Are
Arekan Software is a software and cybersecurity company specializing in scalable systems and AI-powered solutions. Headquartered in Istanbul, Turkey, with an office in Kyrenia (Girne), Northern Cyprus, Arekan serves enterprise clients across the Middle East and Europe. Most agencies pick a lane: design shops, dev houses, or security consultancies. Arekan operates at the intersection of all three — intentionally. When you're a founder scaling across the Gulf or a CTO modernising legacy infrastructure in Europe, you don't have the runway to coordinate three separate vendors. You need one team that understands how AI architecture affects your attack surface, how security constraints shape your system design, and how both impact your go-to-market timeline. Our engagements are led by senior engineers and security architects — not account managers handing off to juniors.

AWS Certified
With extensive experience as a cybersecurity specialist and system & network engineer, I have spent many years designing, building, and securing complex infrastructures across multiple countries. Holding certifications including OSCP (Offensive Security Certified Professional), CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker), AWS Certified, and Cisco, my work has focused on ensuring reliability, resilience, and high-level security in demanding environments.
In recent years, I have shifted my focus toward artificial intelligence, where I design and implement advanced solutions in business automation, cybersecurity, and workflow optimization. By combining deep technical expertise with AI-driven innovation, I help organizations streamline operations, enhance security, and unlock new levels of efficiency.
I am driven by a passion for building scalable, secure, and intelligent systems that not only solve today's challenges but also prepare businesses for the future. Arekan Software reflects this vision: a company where security thinking is embedded in every line of code.
