Summary
Erdem Calikoglu is a trilingual Computer Science student and production support consultant with eight years of hands-on experience keeping high-stakes fintech systems reliable and performant. At CIBC Capital Markets he progressed from co-op to Consultant, building real-time monitors in kdb+, automations in Python/Bash/PowerShell, and cutting alert noise by 30% to save engineers hours each week. He combines a builder’s mindset—evidenced by hackathon wins and an Android game he shipped—with practical backend and cloud fundamentals across Linux, MySQL/memSQL, InfluxDB, Grafana, Azure, and AWS. A founder and community leader on campus, he led a 600-person hackathon and founded the Turkish Student Association, bringing cross-cultural empathy and calm under pressure to Sev-1 incidents and mentoring. He’s particularly interested in roles that blend production support, backend engineering, and cybersecurity in fintech or high-performance environments. Outside work he balances technical focus with creative outlets—basketball, guitar, and amateur poetry—bringing curiosity and humor to team culture.
