About

Niyazi ÖCAL was born in 1980 in Razgrad. He was introduced to computers in 1989 through an IBM PC. His early experience with programming languages such as Pascal, COBOL, GW-BASIC and QBasic provided a foundation for his understanding of computer systems and software development.

He began his professional career in information technology in 1996. Since then, he has worked in IT departments across different organizations, gaining experience in computer programming, software development, systems administration, enterprise IT, digital infrastructure and information security.

ÖCAL studied computer science and economics and pursued additional education across various university programs. His multidisciplinary background informs an approach to technology that considers its connections with economics, business, security, human behavior, history and social transformation.

He holds the qualifications of ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Information Security Management Systems Lead Auditor and ISO/IEC 42001:2023 Artificial Intelligence Management Systems Lead Auditor. His professional interests include information security, organizational risk, management systems, regulatory compliance, AI governance and responsible technology management.

Alongside his professional work, he writes and conducts independent research on the history of computing, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, programming and emerging technologies. His work combines technical knowledge with historical analysis and a multidisciplinary perspective.
