Top SchoolTarik Koc is a versatile software engineer with 11 years of experience building production systems across startups and large enterprises, currently contributing at Amazon from New York. He spans the full SDLC—architecture, backend and frontend development, data pipelines, analytics, and machine learning experimentation—and has shipped web, mobile, and SaaS products. As Head of Engineering at OccamzRazor he architected NLP and knowledge-graph pipelines for drug discovery, secured multi-million dollar funding, and presented research at NeurIPS. Earlier roles include scaling ad-tech at YieldMo (doubling mobile pageviews) and pioneering browser-based medical imaging at HeartIT, demonstrating a blend of applied research and product-focused engineering. He hires and grows high-performing teams, builds developer tooling, and repeatedly turns domain complexity into practical, deployable systems. An unusual thread through his career is pairing deep technical implementation with fundraising and scientific publication, making him comfortable at the intersection of research, product, and operations.
