About

Ilteris Kaplan

Senior Design Technologist | AI Infrastructure & Prototyping

I build the foundational systems that make entire teams faster.

Design Technologist with 12+ years at Google delivering zero-to-one product visions for Cloud AI. I architect the infrastructure, prototypes, and developer tools that transform ambiguous AI product concepts into production-ready experiences.

At Google Cloud AI, I led keynote demos for Cloud Next '25 and '26, built a 9-pass agentic pipeline that achieved 48x analysis speedup, and spearheaded the GitHub Enterprise platform that 200+ people use daily. Before Cloud AI, I spent 5 years on Google Jamboard & Meet building for collaborative hardware, and before Google I shipped 6 iOS apps to the App Store and built interactive installations for brands like Moet Chandon and Hennessy.

This blog is a living archive of 20+ years of technical work — from early experiments in physical computing at NYU ITP to modern agentic systems and AI infrastructure.
