Barış Sözüdoğru
Engineering manager in Munich. Still building.
Now
At taico, I manage the infrastructure and architecture of a GCP platform serving major European enterprises in media analytics, retail, and streaming. Separately, I consult for Telefonica (O2) on 5G edge computing and computer vision for autonomous systems.
Day to day, I make large GCP platforms scale across cloud, data, and AI. My academic background is in robotics, computer vision, and autonomous systems.
In my own time I build side projects, from an artificial life simulation to memory tooling for coding assistants. Details on each below.

Projects
Petri Labs
Artificial life simulation where neural network organisms evolve, hunt, and speciate in real-time in the browser.
Cortex AI
Persistent memory for coding assistants, running locally on macOS. Carries context between sessions, learns how the user works, and reports calibrated confidence for what it retrieves.
ADK Agent Playground
Seven multi-agent systems built on Google ADK, with shared components for observability, security, and memory, plus an evaluation round that measures which parts of an agent setup actually earn their place.
Deep Research Digest
Federated academic search across arXiv, PubMed, and Semantic Scholar.
