Cemil Cengiz is a software engineer with 8 years of experience specializing in machine learning and production-ready, testable software. He has contributed to NLP and large-scale ML systems across academia and industry, including leading NLP efforts at OBSS and working on Gemini and Search Ads ML at Google and DeepMind. His work spans the full ML lifecycle—from data curation and automated training pipelines on multi-GPU and AWS SageMaker to fine-tuning and evaluating large language models and adding conversational features to mobile apps. Cemil combines research experience (published NLP work during his MSc) with pragmatic engineering—shipping an automatic quiz-generation system and an information-extraction pipeline that halved manual work in production. Based in Zurich, he pairs deep learning know-how with practical tooling and mentoring experience, often blending SOTA models with rule-based systems for robust solutions.
