Burak Hamuryen

Senior Software Engineer

I architect and ship high-performance distributed systems, cloud-native platforms, and scalable products across government, enterprise, and startup domains. Based in Berlin.

About

I'm a software engineer with 14+ years of experience delivering high-performance production systems across government, private sector, defense, and industrial domains. I specialize in distributed architectures, real-time video & live streaming, big data pipelines, and cloud-native platforms.

I've worked on AI video analytics infrastructure running ~10,000 Kubernetes pods on Google Cloud across multiple continents, built a government-scale auction platform serving 1.5M+ users with 1,000+ concurrent bids per auction, and rescued critical legacy systems by redesigning them into modern microservice architectures. My work spans real-time data acquisition, industrial machine-software integrations, simulation systems, data visualization, and monitoring dashboards.

From high-scale Spring Boot microservices and Kotlin backends on Kubernetes to real-time video streaming pipelines — I work across the entire stack wherever the problem needs to be solved.

Currently based in Berlin, I hold a Master's degree in Informatics, a Bachelor's in Electrical & Electronics Engineering, and a patent in video network gateway systems. Outside of work, I build my own products — I own and operate EserTescil (digital copyright protection platform with legal timestamp certificates), OnlyCampus (campus life platform), MindMate (mental health app), and Velox (precision GPS speedometer for iOS), with a few more in the pipeline. I also travel and shoot photography.

Experience
