Summary
Ahmet Calis is a Senior Software Engineer based in San Francisco with 11 years of experience building full-stack web applications and production services. He blends a mechanical engineering background—where he built a climbing robot for his MS thesis—with pragmatic software craftsmanship, moving from co-founding a profitable NDT construction company to shipping location-aware and marketplace systems at HyperTrack and Turo. Skilled in Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, React, SQL and TDD, he designs reusable UI components, geo-data pipelines and scalable microservices while prioritizing code quality and delivery. A hands-on collaborator and occasional leader, he is comfortable stepping up to drive projects or stepping aside to elevate teammates. Beyond software, he brings maker instincts and hardware prototyping experience (UAVs, 3D printing) that inform robust, systems-level thinking.
