I build iOS apps that actually ship.

Solo engineer with four apps live on the App Store this year. Production-grade iOS and AI integration, end to end — design, build, ship, recover from Apple rejections, repeat.

SELECTED WORK

Six products, four already shipping.

Real apps. Designed, built, deployed, and recovered from Apple rejections — solo, end to end. The four on the App Store are the proof.

WHAT I DO BEST

Six fields, deep work.

Each one was proven on my own production apps before it became a service. No "I read a tutorial" — these are battle-tested patterns.

01 / RESCUE

App Store
rejection recovery.

Guideline 4.2, 2.1.0, 1.2.0, ITMS errors. Resolution Center replies that read like a reviewer wrote them. 24–72h turnaround.

Solved on Lingua Nokta (4.2 iPad layout) and Aura Social (1.2 UGC moderation) — both live now.

02 / INTEGRATE

Claude AI
integration.

Anthropic Haiku, Sonnet, Opus. Production pipelines with prompt caching, RAG, memory, cost optimization. iOS and cloud both sides.

Lingua Nokta runs Claude Haiku live, five-tone translation at ~$3/mo operational cost.

03 / SHIP

iOS native MVP
in seven days.

Swift + SwiftUI from spec to TestFlight in one week. Apple Sign-In, Supabase backend, push, iPad universal, App Store ready.

Two apps shipped this way in May 2026 — same pipeline available now.

04 / GROUND

Backend &
cloud infrastructure.

Python + FastAPI + Supabase + Fly.io. Always-on services, prompt caching, RLS-secured databases, Realtime sockets, Cloudflare Pages distribution.

Lingua API runs on Fly.io always-on, Aura Social on Supabase with full RLS — both production-grade.

05 / FORGE

Low-level systems
& protocols.

Deterministic computing cores, mathematical engines, binary protocols. OBD-II ELM327 stacks, CoreBluetooth low-level, custom runtime substrates for select work.

Motor372 runs full OBD-II Mode 04/01/08 with log-odds + anti-bypass invariant — production-tested.

06 / RENDER

Interactive web
& WebGL.

Three.js + custom GLSL shaders + post-processing. Particle systems, real-time rendering, mobile-first responsive. From landing pages to fully interactive 3D experiences.

Built this site, plus interactive WebGL games with bloom post-processing and custom shader pipelines.

ABOUT

Self-taught. Indie. Builder.

I'm Muhammet Barış Akdağ, an indie iOS and AI engineer based in Istanbul. I write Swift and Python, design in Figma, deploy to Fly.io and Supabase, and ship to the App Store every few weeks.

No traditional CS degree — I'm finishing a Bachelor's in Psychology. I learned engineering by shipping things: four App Store live, two more in production, infrastructure built solo from runtime to client.
