Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolOrhan Kislal is a software developer and PhD-trained computer scientist based in Boston with eight years of industry experience and over a decade of academic research in high-performance algorithms and systems. He has driven production features and experiments at scale—most recently improving vector indexing and retrieval-augmented generation integrations for Azure PostgreSQL at Microsoft—and previously led platform and ML library work at VMware and Pivotal. Orhan combines deep systems knowledge (compilers, data locality, distributed DBs) with practical product delivery, from improving MADLib machine-learning routines to profiling Citus PostgreSQL clusters. He’s equally at home building APIs and frameworks as he is tuning low-level performance, and he actively explores AI tooling and system architectures beyond his day job. An understated strength is his track record of turning research insights into production optimizations that measurably improve scaling and adoption.
