Crafting mobile & web products people actually love.
I'm Ümit — an independent mobile & full stack developer. I design, build and ship polished products end to end, with obsessive care for detail, performance and UX.
A senior developer who still cares about the details.
I build products from idea to production — mobile, web and everything between. My focus is on clean architecture, delightful UX and performance you can feel.
Product mindset
I think in outcomes, not tickets.
Clean architecture
Code that ages gracefully.
UX obsession
Every pixel and transition earns its place.
Performance
Fast by default — on every device.
- 2017Started shipping software professionally.
- 2019Fell in love with mobile & motion.
- 2021Led mobile at a product studio.
- 2023Went independent — full-stack products.
- 2025Launching apps used across the world.
I've spent the last eight years shipping software — from tiny indie experiments to products used across the world. My roots are in mobile, but I love touching every layer of the stack.
What excites me most is the space between engineering and design: motion that feels physical, architecture that scales without ceremony, and interfaces that quietly get out of the way. I care as much about the last 5% as I do the first draft.
Today I work independently with founders and small teams who want their product to feel as good as it functions.
Crafted with care.

A stack chosen for craft — not hype.
Tools I reach for daily. I pick boring, proven technology and use it in interesting ways.

From idea to production.
A repeatable rhythm I've refined over years of shipping — flexible enough to fit any product.
Idea
Framing the problem and the opportunity.
Research
Users, competitors, constraints, feasibility.
Design
Systems, flows, motion — the product's voice.
Development
Clean architecture, thoughtful abstractions.
Testing
Automated, manual and real-device QA.
Deployment
Ship with confidence — feature flags & rollout.
Maintenance
Iterate, observe, improve. Products are alive.
Eight years of shipping.

What people I've worked with say.
"Ümit ships things that feel expensive. He treats every detail like a product decision — not a task."
"Rare to find someone this strong on both mobile and infrastructure. Made our roadmap actually possible."
"The polish, the animations, the architecture — everything reflects care. Our users noticed on day one."
Notes on craft & code.
Occasional essays on shipping software — architecture, motion, AI features and the small decisions that add up.
Have an idea? Let's build it.
I take on a handful of projects each year. Tell me what you're working on — I usually reply within a day.
Booking horizon: 4–6 weeks. Long-term partnerships welcome.
