Library

I've enjoyed reading since I was a kid, mostly novels exploring love, history, politics, and mystery. Alongside fiction, I also enjoy reading technical books, particularly on topics I'm learning about or looking to improve my skills in. Here's my collection of technical books:

• Deep learning

  Deep Learning with Python ↗

  Currently reading

  François Chollet

  I started reading this book after my internship at Instabee, having come across countless recommendations for it within the AI and machine learning community. What I particularly enjoy is how it combines the technical foundations of deep learning with broader, more philosophical discussions about artificial intelligence. It's a great read for anyone interested in understanding not just how deep learning works, but also the ideas behind it.

• Forecasting

  Forecasting: Principles and Practice ↗

  Rob J Hyndman & George Athanasopoulos

  I first picked up this book on my brother's recommendation, shortly before starting my internship at Instabee. During the internship, I revisited it and eventually read it from cover to cover. It's an excellent introduction to time series forecasting, especially for beginners. Despite having studied economics at university, I found that this book helped me develop a much better understanding of the mathematical foundations and principles behind forecasting.

• Wireless

  Wireless Hacks

  Rob Flickenger

  During my time at Truesec, I developed a strong interest in the red teaming and digital forensics sides of cybersecurity. This was one of the first books I explored during that period. I particularly enjoyed its hands-on approach to wireless technology and hardware experimentation. Looking back, it was also one of the things that sparked my interest in working with hardware and building things myself.

• Security

  Ethical Hacking: Offensive & Defensive

  Ömer Çıtak

  I read this book during my internship at Solvent, when I was beginning to explore cybersecurity more seriously. It gave me a useful introduction to networking, security concepts, and the fundamentals of ethical hacking. It was a good starting point for developing my understanding of the field and exploring its different areas.
