Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBurak Gök is a pragmatic software engineer with 9 years of experience building both quick, focused tools and long-lived backend systems, primarily in C# and Java. He has contributed to core distributed-data features at Hazelcast—working on Jet, SQL streaming/batch support, Hot Restart, and adding functions like TO_CHAR—demonstrating comfort with low-level platform improvements and real-time data processing. At OREDATA he implemented critical IVR components and high-throughput event sinks (including Google BigQuery Storage Write API work) and automated operational tooling for Ambari/Impala, showing a blend of systems, data, and operational engineering. Curious about human-computer interaction, he pairs a research-minded approach with practical delivery, often favoring simple, maintainable solutions to knotty problems. Based in Istanbul and a Bilkent Computer Engineering alumnus (3.5/4.0), he brings a steady mix of hands-on coding, open-source collaboration, and systems thinking.
