Senior🎓
Top SchoolAltun Shukurlu is a Senior Software Engineer based in New York with 11 years of experience building scalable, high-impact systems at companies like Google, Square, IXL Learning, and Snap. He combines a strong algorithmic and mathematical foundation—evidenced by multiple IMO silver medals and Putnam placements—with hands-on production work in backend services, API design, and cloud migrations that materially improved latency and availability for millions of users. At Google he drove a $100M+ ad feature and led the ACe transformer service and monitoring improvements; at Square he redesigned listeners into an async Pub/Sub architecture, cutting endpoint latency by 40–60%. Equally comfortable across C/C++/Java and modern cloud stacks, he has a track record of shipping cross-platform front-end components and robust back-end systems. He’s pursuing advanced CS studies at UVA and brings an unusual combination of competitive mathematical problem-solving and practical product delivery to complex engineering challenges. Outside work he balances technical rigor with bodybuilding and soccer, a reflection of disciplined, performance-oriented thinking.
