Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFaruk Cankaya is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building backend, frontend and mobile systems, currently focused on media analysis and manipulation at Trendyol in Berlin. He blends practical ML/AI work—developing novel object-aware augmentation pipelines with Detectron2 and PyTorch—with production-grade engineering in Java/Kotlin, Python, Go and cloud-native stacks. His background spans optimization and transportation problems at Flix, where he translated OR techniques into scalable Python services, to high-throughput media platforms using Kafka, Couchbase and Kubernetes. Faruk is comfortable across the full stack (Angular/React frontends, Android/Kotlin mobile, reactive Java backends) and emphasizes performance, observability and robust CI/CD. He holds a Master’s in Informatics from TUM, which complements his hands-on approach to bridging research prototypes and resilient production systems. A less obvious strength is his knack for turning academic ML ideas into maintainable, containerized pipelines that integrate smoothly with large-scale engineering ecosystems.
