Summary
Recep Kirmizi is a Lead Software Engineer with over 15 years of experience building scalable, performance-driven full-stack systems, currently leading engineering efforts at EPAM Systems. He is deeply hands-on across backend (Python: Django, FastAPI), growing Node.js/TypeScript expertise, and frontend work in React and Vue, alongside managing PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Elasticsearch. Known for designing event-based, message-driven architectures (Redis, RabbitMQ) and running end-to-end delivery—from CI/CD and Kubernetes deployments to production monitoring—he often fills the gaps between engineering, operations, and product in teams without formal leadership. His background includes long-term NDAs where he operated as a one-person cross-functional team, introducing modern engineering practices and mentoring non-technical founders. Based in Adana, Türkiye, he’s also a licensed ham radio operator (TA2AXV), reflecting an analytical, systems-minded curiosity beyond software.
