Summary
Cengiz Kaygusuz is a software engineer with 12 years of experience specializing in distributed systems and cybersecurity, currently building large-scale services at Google from Seattle. He previously helped launch HBOMax, where he designed user-specific distributed caching, a content pregeneration engine that cut processing time dramatically, and scalable personalization services. His background blends academic research—developing ML models for smart-grid compromise detection and wearable-assisted continuous authentication—with hands-on engineering in Go, Python, Swift, and infrastructure automation. Comfortable across the stack, he has shipped connected-car backends, cryptographic signature servers, and production microservices, and he brings a knack for turning research ideas into deployable systems. Outside work he tinkers with autonomous controller software and plays bossa nova, reflecting a mix of technical curiosity and creative rhythm.
