Summary
Cem Sancak is a multilingual software engineer and shareholder at Insider with 10+ years of experience building high-throughput data platforms and microservices. As Lead Solution Architect for Insider’s data management, he designs and implements systems that handle hundreds of billions of events using Go, ClickHouse, Scylla and Amazon EKS, while deliberately avoiding the typical Hadoop/Spark stack. He blends full‑stack instincts—React/Redux frontends, Rails backends and Android SDK work—with pragmatic architecture, security and cost‑optimization decisions that have materially reduced operating costs. Known for a perfectionist streak and an appetite for open‑source and hard problems, he thrives outside comfort zones and contributes to company strategy as an active partner. An engineer who dislikes legacy cruft, he pairs deep technical ownership with a preference for clear, precise communication.
