Senior🎓
Top SchoolGökhan Özdemir is a senior software engineer and pragmatic generalist with nine years of cross-sector experience building products, data pipelines, and ICT infrastructure for startups, government and international organizations. He combines hands-on engineering (frontend and backend) with product management and data engineering skills, having modernized UNFPA Turkey’s data collection to near real-time and delivered around $800k in savings. A former startup co-founder and educator, he has led edtech development and mentored 300+ students while designing scalable feedback and AI-ready learning workflows. His background in geological engineering and early work in GIS and spatial data gives him a practical edge in data-driven problem solving that isn’t obvious from his software roles alone. Known for stepping into multiple roles simultaneously, he has a track record of transferring responsibilities to successors and leaving teams ready to scale. Now based in Ankara and returning from a short career break, he’s focused on re-entering software with the communication and management practices honed at the United Nations.
