# Ahmet Kucuk > Software Engineer Location: New York, New York, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/ahmetkucuk I am a software engineer at Datadog, where I focus on the intersection of distributed systems and machine learning. My recent work involves designing semantic vector search and agentic systems for root cause analysis, alongside engineering the high-throughput pipelines that process large-scale change events. Previously, at Superblocks and Hyperscience, I built infrastructure to manage complex data—covering everything from version control and RBAC systems to data collection for ML training and human-in-the-loop workflows. I approach engineering as a generalist , a perspective shaped by a research background that includes published work in Nature Scientific Data and IEEE focusing on computer vision, spatiotemporal vector data, and solar physics. While I enjoy diving into the technical weeds of a problem, my primary interest is in building intelligent systems that actually work at scale. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Datadog Jan 2025 – Present | New York, Birleşik Devletler Architecting scalable AI infrastructure and high-throughput data platforms to automate system diagnostics and enhance event discovery across distributed software services using vector-based search and agentic workflows. ### Software Engineer @ Superblocks Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | New York, Birleşik Devletler * Developed version control for Drag & Drop UI and API editor, enabling users to efficiently track changes, manage revisions, and collaborate. • Implemented a Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) system, enabling granular resource access and enhancing security and user management flexibility. ### Software Engineer @ HyperScience Jan 2017 – Jan 2023 | Greater New York City Area I worked as a Backend Engineer on an AI-driven Enterprise Distributed Document Processing Platform. Over the course of six years, I contributed to multiple core components of the platform, playing a key role in the company's growth as it scaled from around 50 to over 250 employees. Sample projects: * Designed and implemented on-site ML model training, enabling customers to efficiently handle unstructured data and extract valuable insights, improving their data processing workflows. * Developed and optimized distributed data processing pipelines, enhancing system scalability and performance. Improved public API functionality, leading to faster data retrieval for customers, and created a near real-time dashboard that streamlined decision-making processes. * Implemented Human-In-the-Loop (HITL) flow and data collection, improving data labeling efficiency and ML model accuracy for more reliable outcomes. ### Graduate Research Assistant @ Georgia State University Jan 2015 – Jan 2017 I have published several peer-reviewed research papers on detecting solar activity in 4K satellite images using computer vision. Additionally, I developed a Postgres/PostGIS plugin for efficiently representing and analyzing spatio-temporal data derived from solar activity. ### Parttime Software Engineer @ Arçelik R&D Jan 2014 – Jan 2015 I was part of the IoT team, where I primarily worked on an Android application that communicates with smart appliances. In addition to contributing to the embedded application, I also developed a Java-based REST API for monitoring the status of these smart devices. ### Software Developer Internship @ Monitise MEA Jan 2014 – Jan 2014 Developed an internal application using Scala on the Play Framework, gaining hands-on experience in building scalable web applications. Also became familiar with the Spring Framework. ### Research Intern @ Xerox Research Center Europe Jan 2013 – Jan 2013 Worked on the Sustainable Commuting Project, where I developed both Android and web applications to collect user activity and location data for research analysis. The data was used to support sustainability initiatives and enhance commuting patterns. ### Android Developer Internship @ DX Wave Jan 2012 – Jan 2012 Developed an Android Application for Online ordering for a franchise in Turkey. ## Education ### Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) in Computer Science Bilkent University ### Master of Science - MS in Computer Science Georgia State University ### Bachelor's degree in Information Technology Uppsala University ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/ahmetkucuk - Website: http://www.ahmet-kucuk.com/ --- Source: https://flows.cv/ahmetkucuk JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/ahmetkucuk/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-05
