Teaching

Here there are the courses that I have taught so far


Personal

Turkish, Spanish, Azerbaijani, Persian, and Arabic are the languages that I have been involved with. Apart from being a melomaniac, hunting, and reading philosophical books along with psychological ones are always fillers of my free time.

I am interested in BlackArch and its’ advanced cryptographic tools، and never limit myself to a special programming stack and always jump between technologies based on my needs.

Here is a list of my favorite movies, series, games, and documentaries.
