About Me
Hello! I’m Firat Tamur, a Backend Engineer based in Istanbul, Turkey, passionate about building scalable systems and exploring the frontiers of AI technology.
Currently, I’m working on building backend systems with Django and FastAPI for a fintech company, where I develop AI agents that are transforming financial technology. I’m particularly excited about Large Language Models (LLMs), AI agents, and their real-world applications—this is where I see the future of software development heading.
Beyond my day job, I created Sonic, a personal voice note-taking iOS app that has reached over 10,000+ users with 100+ ratings on the App Store. This experience taught me the importance of building products that truly solve user problems while maintaining clean, scalable code.
My Journey & Goals
I’m on a mission to become a master of backend development and system design. I constantly challenge myself by reading technical books, solving complex problems, and staying updated with the latest technologies. My approach to software development is grounded in three core principles: clean code, scalability, and comprehensive testing.
What I’m Working With
Primary Stack: Python, Go, Django, FastAPI
Databases: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis
Cloud & Infrastructure: AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform
Currently Exploring: LLM Applications, AI Agents, Distributed Systems, TypeScript
Mobile Development: Swift, iOS Development
Beyond Code
When I’m not architecting backend systems, you’ll find me:
- ✍️ Writing on Medium weekly, sharing insights about backend development, AI, and software engineering
- 🎥 Creating YouTube videos 1-2 times a week, teaching and exploring new technologies
- 🏋️ At the gym 3 times a week, staying physically and mentally sharp
- ♟️ Playing chess, which mirrors my love for strategic thinking and problem-solving
- 📚 Reading technical books to continuously improve my software engineering skills
- 📱 Building iOS apps and exploring mobile development
I believe in learning in public and giving back to the developer community. Whether it’s through writing, creating videos, or building products, I’m committed to sharing knowledge and helping others grow in their tech journey.
