About Bits & Qubits
Where software engineering meets quantum curiosity
Hello, World!
Welcome to Bits & Qubits, a space where I explore the intersection of artificial intelligence, software architecture, engineering leadership, and my endless fascination with quantum computing and space exploration.
What You'll Find Here
This blog covers four main areas:
- AI-Driven Engineering: Practical insights on integrating AI tools into software development workflows, evaluating LLMs, and building AI-powered features.
- Software Architecture: Lessons learned from designing scalable systems, making technology choices, and navigating the ever-evolving landscape of modern software.
- Engineering Leadership: Thoughts on building teams, fostering engineering culture, and the human side of technical organizations.
- The Curiosity Corner: Deep dives into quantum computing concepts, space technology, and other topics that fuel my intellectual curiosity.
About the Author
I'm Umut Uyumaz, a Principal Software Architect at ASML. I'm passionate about software architecture, particularly how systems evolve over time and how we can maintain their quality at scale.

About the Name
The name "Bits & Qubits" reflects the duality of my interests. Classical computing deals with bits, the fundamental 0s and 1s that power everything from your smartphone to massive data centers. Quantum computing introduces qubits, quantum bits that can exist in superposition, representing both 0 and 1 simultaneously.
The logo ⟨B|Q⟩ is styled after bra-ket notation, the standard mathematical notation used in quantum mechanics. It's a small nod to the quantum world that fascinates me.
