Every February, National Engineers Week celebrates the innovative minds shaping the world. It’s a time to recognize the problem-solvers who make our everyday lives better. In our Behind the Software series, we’re introducing you to the talented individuals behind our software. Today, we’re featuring Ergin Yilmaz, Lead Data Engineer.
From Commodore 64 to Data Engineering
Ergin’s fascination with technology started early thanks to a childhood spent exploring the possibilities of a Commodore 64. Typing commands on the blue screen, experimenting with simple game code, and seeing the endless opportunities for creation sparked his lifelong passion for engineering. That early exposure showed him the power of technology as a tool for innovation, leading him to pursue a career where he could combine his technical skills with his desire to make a meaningful impact.
Now, as the Lead Data Engineer at gWorks, Ergin designs and optimizes the data infrastructure that supports our software platform. His work ensures that gWorks’ systems are reliable, scalable, and efficient—helping small, local governments make data-driven decisions that enhance public services and community operations.
The Mind of a Problem-Solver
Beyond work, Ergin enjoys reverse-engineering everyday things just to see how they function. For example, he may look at a piece of software, a tech gadget, or even a board game strategy. This curiosity translates directly into his role at gWorks, where he takes a meticulous approach to problem-solving. When faced with complex challenges, he breaks them down into smaller, manageable components and collaborates with his team to find the best solutions.
“Communication and teamwork are key,” Ergin says. “Ensuring everyone is aligned and informed helps us tackle even the most complex challenges effectively.”
A Day in the Life of a Lead Data Engineer
Ergin’s typical day at gWorks is a blend of collaboration and hands-on development. He works closely with teams across the company to refine data workflows, troubleshoot performance issues, and design new data models. A major focus of his work is integrating diverse datasets to enhance analytics for gWorks clients, allowing local governments to streamline operations, reduce costs, and better serve their residents.
Currently, Ergin is optimizing gWorks’ data pipelines and expanding analytics capabilities for new clients. By improving these systems, he’s helping small towns harness the power of data to make informed decisions that directly impact their communities.
Engineering for Small-Town Impact
For Ergin, the most rewarding part of his job is knowing that his work directly improves the efficiency of local governments. The software he helps build enables small towns to function more smoothly, improving public services, infrastructure, and overall quality of life for residents.
“When small towns have access to powerful, easy-to-use technology, they can make data-driven decisions that enhance their communities,” he says. “Seeing that real-world impact is incredibly fulfilling.”
A Culture of Innovation and Growth
At gWorks, Ergin has found an environment that supports innovation and continuous learning. “The company values experimentation and gives me the freedom to explore new ways to improve our data infrastructure,” he shares. “That collaborative and innovative culture has been instrumental in my growth as an engineer.”
