IT Manager, asset management
IT Manager at an asset management firm in İstanbul. I look after the servers and identity the business runs on, and automate the parts worth automating.
About
I manage IT operations at Sparta Asset Management. That covers the Windows server environment, Microsoft 365, Entra ID and Active Directory, and Exchange Online, plus monitoring, backups, and the day-to-day support that keeps people working.
Security and access management are a large part of the role, given the industry. I also handle SQL Server, vendor integrations, and API work, and when a process is repetitive or a tool is missing I build it, usually in Python or PowerShell.
