Bahadir Canturk is a driven student with a clear direction. Bahadir first started taking classes at FSC under our Computer Systems department in the Computer Technology certification program. Soon after he transitioned into our four-year Computer Programming and Information Systems program. While he initially wanted to go back to school for a career change he found his passion in security compliance.
During his time with Farmingdale State College Bahadir was exposed to various coding
languages in our Computer Technology Certification, after taking a few courses he
grew fonder of Networking. With his change of program, Bahadir enrolled in Professor
Greenidge’s class to prepare him for the CISCO certification. He dedicated himself
to the process and diligently learned the material. He emerged from the courses with
his Cisco Certified Networking Associate (CCNA) certification. With his achievement,
he looked toward his senior project to further follow his passion. Bahadir is creating
a cloud-based application to create guidelines to ensure potential clients’ cloud
applications can securely house company and client data.
For the past two years, Bahadir has been working full-time at MSPNetworks as a Managed
Services Specialist where he ensures the security of his client’s data and technology
security systems for fifty-plus clients. Bahadir also landed a virtual internship
with an NYC based company, Flashtalking. He specializes in security compliance where
he ensures the safety and security of his client’s information and makes sure that
they are following the industry protocols on storing information in cloud-based services.
Bahadir had utilized the tools and resources at Farmingdale State College to cultivate
an impressive resume. Bahadir is on track to graduate in Spring 2021. We wish him
the best of luck in all of his career endeavors.
