iOS software engineer · Berlin

Small apps.
Built with intent.

I design and build focused Apple-platform products—where careful engineering meets a clear, human experience.

Selected work

Four ideas,
made tangible.

Each app starts with a simple question and becomes a product I use, refine, and ship.

Privacy · Utilities

iKeep

A private place for the details you want close—and no one else needs to see.

Productivity · Focus

Bubbles

A visual task manager where priorities grow into view and completion feels satisfying.

About

Engineer’s rigor.
Maker’s curiosity.

I’m Bahadır, an iOS software engineer and independent app developer based in Berlin, with eight years of experience building and shipping apps.

I work across Apple platforms with Swift, SwiftUI, and UIKit. My background spans consumer products used by millions and the complete lifecycle of my own shipped apps—from product thinking and interaction design to architecture, App Store release, and ongoing iteration.

Today I build iKeep, Bubbles, Ballance, and HealthBar, exploring practical ideas around privacy, focus, play, and everyday wellbeing.
