Summary
Hakan Metin is a Site Reliability Engineer with nine years of experience combining deep research-grade problem solving and hands-on product engineering. After a PhD in Computer Science focused on exploiting dynamic symmetries to tackle SAT problems, he spent six years at WALLIX designing and maintaining security-critical products like Bastion and cloud platforms, and now brings that expertise to Criteo. He specializes in building robust, high-performance systems that bridge cybersecurity needs and scalable cloud infrastructure, with a strong emphasis on reliability and automation. Known for curiosity-driven exploration of new architectures, he blends formal methods background with practical engineering to optimize complex distributed systems. An often-unseen strength is his history of parallelizing SAT solvers and encoding verification problems in SMT, which informs his approach to fault-tolerant design and performance tuning.
