Senior🎓
Top SchoolBerkay Barlas is a software engineer based in California with eight years of experience building data-intensive web applications and cloud-native systems. He combines front-end expertise (React) with back-end and AWS architecture experience, having implemented scalable ML-enabled projects from an IoT nutrition tracker to a fundus-image disease classifier. Berkay has shipped production features at startups and tech giants alike—contributing to performance-critical work at Vagon, open-source improvements in Firefox at Mozilla, and internships at Google and Apple before joining Apple full-time. He has a multidisciplinary academic background spanning electrical engineering and computer science degrees from institutions including Koç University and Georgia Tech, which fuels his comfort with both hardware-integrated prototypes and large-scale web services. Notably, he led front-end teams to boost live-stream performance and reduced fraud at Vagon, and he built end-to-end ML + cloud systems early in his career, showing a pattern of turning research-grade prototypes into production-ready products. Always seeking harder problems, he blends curiosity-driven tinkering with pragmatic engineering to deliver measurable impact.
