Software Engineer · İstanbul

I build products end to end — the app, the API and the infrastructure behind it.

I’m Faruk. Since November 2024 I’ve been a software developer at Neon Apps, building consumer products end to end — Flutter clients, NestJS APIs, PostgreSQL on AWS RDS and S3 for media. Nine of them are live on the App Store and Google Play.

01 — How I work

Three layers, one engineer

Most of what I ship starts as an empty repo and ends as a versioned release with a database behind it. Here is what I actually do at each layer.

Mobile

Flutter for iOS & Android

Production Flutter apps with domain, data and presentation kept apart — features stay testable and screens stay fast as the product grows.

What I handle

  • Clean Architecture codebases
  • Offline-first caching & persistence
  • Camera, audio & video pipelines
  • In-app purchases & subscriptions
  • Push notifications via FCM
  • Store releases on iOS & Android

Toolkit

FlutterDartRiverpod ProviderFirebase

Backend

Node.js & NestJS services

Typed REST services with validation at the edge, business rules in the service layer and a relational model designed around the product.

What I handle

  • Modular REST APIs with typed DTOs
  • JWT auth, guards & validation
  • Relational modelling & migrations
  • Indexed queries & full-text search
  • Async job queues for AI workloads
  • Usage metering & credit ledgers

Toolkit

Node.jsNestJSTypeScript PostgreSQL

Cloud & delivery

AWS & Firebase

The infrastructure the apps run on: managed databases, media storage and delivery, and the tooling to ship changes safely.

What I handle

  • Managed PostgreSQL on Amazon RDS
  • Direct-to-S3 uploads with presigned URLs
  • Media delivery through CloudFront
  • Serverless backends on Firebase
  • CI/CD, Remote Config & Crashlytics
