Software Engineer @Aston Martin Formula 1 Team

Toprak Koç

My journey started in Türkiye’s leading startups, where I honed my skills across various programming languages and frameworks. Today, I bring that experience to the Aston Martin F1 Team, pushing the limits of performance both on and off the track. In my talk, I’ll share what it’s like to be a software engineer in Formula 1 and how we use modern technologies like cloud, simulations and AI showcasing telemetry data, race preparation, and the innovative mindset that drives our team forward. It’s more of a soft, story driven talk rather than a deeply technical one, focused on inspiration and behind the scenes insights
