Mert Mentes, PhD.

TECH & INNOVATION ENTHUSIAST PhD Researcher AI Enthusiast Entrepreneur

I'm a Sr. Cybersecurity Architect at Thermo Fisher Scientific and a PhD researcher from Corvinus University of Budapest. My work sits at the intersection of cybersecurity, AI, and digital transformation — specializing in product and cloud security, risk management, and building data-driven approaches to enterprise security.

Beyond my corporate role, I'm an educator, lifelong learner, and serial entrepreneur with interests spanning fintech, blockchain, SaaS, and e-commerce. I believe in turning complexity into clarity — whether that's a security architecture, a Power BI dashboard, or a lecture to non-technical audiences.

Beyond research and corporate life, I've built and scaled 7 personal brands across the digital economy — from SaaS platforms and e-commerce stores to cybersecurity consulting and fintech ventures.
