About

Hello Readers!

My name is Mehmet Yilmaz, a passionate software developer originating from Denver, Colorado, with Turkish roots. I have always been an avid learner and builder, dedicating my time and energy to exploring new technologies and creating impactful projects.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from the Colorado School of Mines. Since and before my graduation in 2022, I immersed myself in the tech industry, working on diverse projects ranging from robotics, AI, and web development. I genuinely enjoy the process of turning ideas into tangible tools and solutions.

I previously worked as a Software Engineer at eBay, where I contributed to the Storage Management System (STMS) project, enhancing its capabilities to process over 1.5 million metrics per minute across multiple data centers. During my time there, I developed microservices, managed containerized deployments, and played a role in infrastructure decisions, such as migrating all internal services from MongoDB to Postgres.

In addition to my role at eBay, I founded Osgil, a startup focused on innovative cybersecurity solutions. Our flagship product, TARS, was an AI-driven tool for automating threat assessments, which garnered $145K in pre-seed funding from Forum Ventures. Leading Osgil allowed me to expand my engineering skills into entrepreneurship, further fueling my passion for impactful technological solutions.

Before these roles, I served as an Engineering Intern at TruthSuite/Anarchy (YC W23) and as a Research Assistant at the Human-Centered Robotics Lab at the Colorado School of Mines. I also began my career at Namasté Solar and the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

My enthusiasm for building extends to my side projects, where I continually challenge myself to learn and create. You can explore all my work on my projects page or visit my GitHub page. For a view of my most notable projects, see my CV. Feel free to further explore my works by navigating through this website, and you can also check out my Resume.

I created this website to not only document and archive my journey but also to serve as a resource for anyone going through their builder’s journey. I hope my experiences and projects can inspire and assist you in your learning and building endeavors.

If you have any questions or just want to connect, feel free to reach out through my contacts.

Happy Reading & Building!
