About

Capital markets, econometrics, and the work I do with data.

In short

I study econometrics and want to build my career on the capital markets side. I am currently interning at Acar Menkul Değerler, where I follow market data through the Optimus trading software, the Matriks terminal and the Public Disclosure Platform (KAP), and learn clearing, custody and operations processes first hand.

Before that I spent six years in our family company on the pre-accounting and sales side, learning current accounts, invoicing and income-expense tracking from the work itself rather than from a textbook. I also built an application that analyses that company’s financial data.
