Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFatih Bakır is a Principal Software Engineer with 11 years of systems and compiler-focused experience, currently leading engine foundation work at Roblox after prior roles at Apple and impactful internships at Google. He blends deep research pedigree—admitted to a funded PhD program at UCSB and years as a graduate student researcher and TA—with production engineering that improved compiler PGO and Edge TPU backend performance. Known for shipping performance-sensitive systems and tooling (including work that reduced model memory use dramatically and squeezed extra gains from PGO), he thrives at the intersection of compilers, graphics, and engine infrastructure. Based in San Jose but open to opportunities in Europe, he combines academic rigor with pragmatic delivery and a history of building novel tooling such as a web HDR image viewer during earlier research internships.
