Summary
Koray Göçmen is a Senior Software Engineer with 10 years of experience building high-throughput distributed systems and resilient infrastructure, shaped by a Computer Engineering degree from the University of Toronto. He has led backend teams and architected production microservices for VPN exit nodes, DNS proxies, firewalls, and ticketing platforms that handle hundreds of thousands of requests per minute. As a founder and CTO he built end-to-end systems—DNS nameservers, web and email firewalls, centralized loggers and automated deployment pipelines—demonstrating both product intuition and low-level protocol work. At Windscribe he implemented custom networking components (DNS over DoH/DoT, SOCKS5 replacement) that operate at global scale, and his work often emphasizes efficiency under heavy concurrency. Known for quickly onboarding into diverse startups and delivering pragmatic, scalable solutions, he combines hands-on coding with architectural leadership. Based in Toronto with Turkish roots, he brings entrepreneurial grit and a track record of turning complex networking and backend challenges into dependable, production services.
