Senior Pre-Sales Engineer — 12+ years architecting and winning complex enterprise & government cybersecurity deals across the Middle East, Turkey & Africa.
I lead technical discovery, PoV/PoC programs and RFP/RFI responses that displace legacy network and web security architectures in favor of modern, prevention-first designs. Over 12+ years across the region, I've worked with CISOs and C-level stakeholders to translate complex security architecture into ROI, risk reduction and compliance value — and helped channel partners and distributors scale technical wins independently across enterprise and public-sector accounts.

Running structured proof-of-value programs that prove impact fast and de-risk the decision.
Leading technical response strategy and displacing legacy vendors in enterprise & government tenders.
Firewall, proxy (PAC / explicit / transparent) and SSL/TLS inspection architecture for enterprise networks.
Designing controls that discover, classify and protect sensitive data across cloud, endpoint and network.
