Designer & iOS Developer in Izmir, TURKEY

About

As a hardworking and ambitious Visual Communication Designer and self-taught mobile developer, I bring a unique blend of creative and technical skills to the table. I grew up with a passion for technology and an eagerness to explore its possibilities. I am particularly interested in the Apple ecosystem and have a strong desire to become a Swift developer. Throughout my studies at İzmir University of Economics, I honed my design skills and taught myself mobile development, allowing me to create visually stunning and functional projects. I am also interested in networking and backend technologies such as Swift Vapor, NGINX, Linux and more. I am constantly looking to improve myself and take on new challenges.
