ABOUT ME

Hello and welcome! I’m Umur, a Senior Software Engineer at EPAM Systems with over 5 years of experience, fueled by a relentless passion for crafting innovative solutions. I thrive on building cutting-edge applications using TypeScript, React, Python, FastAPI, Celery, PostgreSQL, Langfuse, and LangChain, and I’m driven to push the boundaries of technology to create impactful, user-focused experiences.

Currently, I’m immersed in developing an AI agent-powered research platform for computational chemists, collaborating closely with our Data Science team to deliver a dynamic, chat-like interface backed by long-running services. As a Resource Manager for a talented team of three senior engineers, I’ve conducted over 20 technical interviews to build high-performing teams. My work includes designing a robust Python API with FastAPI to integrate in-house packages and crafting a sleek, responsive web UI with React and TypeScript. My expertise spans cloud tools, Docker containerization, and platforms like AWS

I’m a lifelong learner, recently earning an AWS Developer Certification and diving deep into MongoDB and generative AI to stay ahead of the curve. With a strong foundation in Python, SQL and Node.js, I’m always ready to tackle new challenges with enthusiasm and creativity.

When I’m not coding, I’m channeling my energy into blues and funk on my guitar, letting the music spark my inspiration. Let’s connect and build something extraordinary together!
