Top SchoolMehmet Yildiz is a software engineer based in Berlin with 7 years of experience building scalable cloud-native systems, full-stack features, and performance-critical backend services. He holds a BSc in Computer Engineering from Hacettepe University and has driven improvements in CI/CD, distributed architectures, and database performance across serverless and microservice environments. At Phrase he modernized UI state management, refactored translation/transcription services into a distributed architecture, and consolidated microservices with Turborepo while migrating deployments to Terraform. Previously at Catchpoint/Thundra he cut query latencies, boosted system performance through caching and optimizations, and led automation efforts that shortened deploy times by 30%. Mehmet pairs hands-on UI work (waveform visualizations, UX improvements) with backend reliability and LLM/Speech-to-Text pipeline enhancements, showing a rare mix of frontend polish and backend robustness. Colleagues describe him as curious and ownership-driven, often surfacing pragmatic infrastructure and product improvements that aren’t immediately obvious from code alone.
