An iOS consultant / architect / engineer specializing in custom-designed, service-driven applications since 2008.

Over my career I had the chance to work with various local and global clients including Fortune 500 companies and Y Combinator startups. I have launched more than 150 apps in the App Store.

Besides providing development services to clients; I co-founded several startups and successfully exited one of them, I am a mentor in several incubators including Google Launchpad and I was lecturing in Bahcesehir University for 2 semesters, teaching Advanced iOS Application Development to senior students.

A bit more about myself:

  • Have comprehensive and in-depth knowledge in Swift and Objective-C. I started developing iOS applications in 2008 with the very first SDK using Objective-C. Later in 2015, with the release of Swift 2.1, I switched my stack completely to Swift and still pushing code to various repositories everyday.

  • A big fan of MVVM architecture and Functional Reactive Programming paradigm. I've given speeches and workshops about it in several developer meetings.

  • I was using ReactiveCocoa framework since v2.0 actively in production (later with ReactiveSwift). Switched to RxSwift in 2018 completely and I've been using it in variuos production applications excessively.

  • Prefer programmatic UI over Storyboards using SnapKit and/or native Auto Layout APIs.

  • Experienced in iOS Continuous Integration tools like Fastlane, Bitrise, CircleCI and BuddyBuild.

  • Built various applications/tools that are using hardware capabilities of the iOS devices like BLE and NFC.

  • Worked with WebSockets.

  • Have been in several technical and management roles in my career such as Senior iOS Developer, iOS Team Lead, Mobile Lead, Technical Team Lead, CTO and CEO.

  • Very experienced in RESTful and GraphQL API architectures. Both in planning and consuming them using Alamofire, Moya and Apollo.

  • Have built couple of data-driven, companion applications using React Native.

  • Proficent in MERN (MongoDB, Express, React and Node.js) stack.

  • Experienced in Realm Database. An old interview from 2015: https://realm.io/blog/flows

  • Besides technical roles and coding, I mentor startups in various incubators, including Google Launchpad.

  • I was a lecturer in Bahcesehir University for 2 semesters, teaching Advanced iOS Application Development to senior students

It's main purpose is to enable NN insurance users to manage their insurance portfolios, change their investment amounts and choices, manage their fund distributions and create alternative investments if they want. The application has excessive use of charts/graphs and several types of data displays (from custom sliders to totally custom inputs). Also it has bank-grade security and passed several tests which was performed by security/penetration experts. It also has two-factor and biometric authentication built in. I was the sole iOS developer involved in the project. I architectured and developed the whole application using MVVM pattern and reactive functional programming paradigm on mind.

T24 is the biggest online newspaper of Turkey. It has millions of users visiting the platform (web and mobile apps). Due to their user profile, their iOS application is their most popular mobile platform. Now it is serving to hundreds of thousands users every month with a crash rate < 0.5%. I architectured and developed the iOS application from ground up. Besides, I helped the backend team to architecture the GraphQL endpoints. The application was built using MVVM pattern and reactive functional programming paradigm on mind.
