Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDren Kaymakci is a Reykjavik-based game developer and software engineer with 12 years of experience building custom engines, booking platforms, and domain-specific optimization systems. He blends deep mathematical and algorithmic reasoning with practical full-stack skills—having written a bespoke game engine, CAD glass-cutting algorithms, React/TypeScript front ends, and Haskell back ends. His background includes work on privacy-focused search tooling and crawlers, complex booking and inventory schedulers, and oil-well optimization algorithms, demonstrating comfort across performance-critical and data-driven domains. Dren’s academic training includes an MSc in Computer Science from Háskóli Íslands and exchange studies in Sweden, and he has operational experience maintaining high-performance linear algebra libraries for a university compute cluster. Notable but less obvious: he moves fluidly between low-level numerical optimization and user-facing systems, making him equally at home tuning BLAS libraries or shipping playable game features. Practical, curious, and hands-on, he excels at turning mathematical ideas into robust, production software.
