Teoman Köylüoglu

Fourth year ICT student, currently pursuing an MSc in Computer Science at KTH.

I'm particularly interested in backend engineering, distributed systems, programming languages, and practical software engineering. Firm believer in automation and scripting, in other words: if it can be scripted, it will be scripted.

Overview

I care about meaningful software. Software should serve a clear purpose, and increase productivity. It should also remain understandable as it grows, and the correct tools must be used for the right task. In my work, I seek to reduce complexity and maintenance burden while ensuring correctness. This page is thus built in vanilla HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, as it matches the scope of the problem.

Background

Computer Science,

Currently

Teaching Assistant /
Course Dev at KTH

Outside of software: I like difficult-to-find / rare music. The worse the recording, the better. Somewhat of a denim collector---my biggest prize being a Powr House 101 jacket from the 50's. I also have two orange-tab Big E Levi's dating between 1969-1971. I still ride the same mountain bike since my teenage years. I also like films and Turkish poetry.

Open to Internships or Junior Software Development roles :)

Research

Bachelor's Thesis

2025

Zero Self-View Latency

KTH / RISE

Implemented operation-based CRDTs in Unity for low-latency XR-style collaborative applications, and benchmarked a local-first approach in NGO against traditional client-server and distributed-authority models across 2 to 16 clients. Results showed that, for valid CRDT operations, local-first updates could achieve near-zero self-view latency while also reducing total network traffic in smaller sessions. Future work includes exploring how CRDT-based and non-CRDT approaches can be combined in practice.

Selected Work

Projects

01

GitHub

omnipaxos-Nezha

Extended OmniPaxos, a consensus distributed log library with support for Nezha, a state-of-the-art consensus protocol that uses synchronized clocks to achieve deadline ordering, in Rust.
The original paper

  • Rust / Distributed systems / Consensus
  • Synchronized Clocks, High-performance, fault-tolerant replication

02

GitHub

omnipaxos-kv

Extended an OmniPaxos key-value store alongside the Nezha work to evaluate how clock quality, adaptive deadlines, and fast-path execution affect latency and throughput.

  • Rust / distributed KV / benchmarking
  • Clock simulation, latency, fast-path ratio

03

GitHub

CI-Server

Implemented a small Java CI server that verifies GitHub webhooks, checks out pushed commits, runs Maven tests, and reports results back through commit statuses.

  • Java / Maven / GitHub webhooks
  • ngrok, automation, commit statuses, testing

What I Value in a Code Review

Another useful way to stand out: write plainly about engineering judgment instead of posting generic productivity advice.
