Top SchoolMert Akozcan is a Senior Software Engineer with nine years of experience building scalable, event-driven systems and real-time analytics. Based in San Francisco, he has driven major migrations and product launches at Udemy—moving monoliths to microservices, enabling B2B subscriptions worth hundreds of millions in ARR, and cutting data latency from a day to near real-time with Kafka and SingleStore. He combines hands-on engineering with architecture work, having designed payment and subscription platforms, tax collection across 150+ countries, and learning-session tracking services that avoid adding overhead for domain teams. Now at Roblox, he continues to focus on high-throughput, low-latency systems and cross-functional delivery. Trained at Boğaziçi University and the University of Washington, he pairs strong academic foundations with pragmatic product impact. Colleagues would describe him as an adaptive problem-solver who turns complex, compliance-sensitive requirements into reliable, production-grade services.
