İlker AVCI
Computer Engineering Student
Çankaya / Ankara

As a senior computer engineering student with a strong technical background in programming, I am primarily interested in operating systems, low-level programming, cybersecurity, reverse engineering and embedded systems. I am proficient in C, C++, Bash, Python, and Java, and have experience with Kotlin, JavaScript, and SQL. My research on LibSec project has provided me with valuable experience in mobile security, the internals of the Android OS, and related tools. I prefer using Linux for both personal and professional purposes and possess experience in Linux server maintenance. Actively participating in diverse projects and collaborative teams, I have developed a robust skill set that enables me to thrive in both leadership and team member roles.
