Hello there! My name is Mehmet Yilmaz and I’m a builder. I’ve been in the tech industry for over 4.9 years, but I’ve been engineering for over 11.4 years. I’m currently a Systems Engineer III at Charter Communications, where I design robust, secure, and scalable streaming infrastructure. Previously, I founded a startup, Osgil, where I raised $145K in pre-seed funding from Forum Ventures with a $1.93M valuation. I also founded E&F Group Inc. in early 2025 as my long-term vehicle for future independent projects. I’ve launched products like TARS, DocuInsight, Notify Cyber, Cha, Guardian Grid, and various other projects. Throughout my career, I’ve worked at eBay, Bild AI (YC), Anarchy (YC), and HCR Lab as well as delivering projects for Kobalt Labs (YC) and Macro (a16z). I’ve also won 4 hackathons and earned a CS degree with a focus area in Robotics & Intelligent Systems from the Colorado School of Mines. My goal is to build products that solve real problems that make a genuine positive impact on the world. Check out my resume/cv and blogs if you’d like to learn more about me!
