Faruk Biberoglu
Software Engineer · İstanbul
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
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.
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
Toolkit
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
Toolkit
AWS & Firebase
The infrastructure the apps run on: managed databases, media storage and delivery, and the tooling to ship changes safely.

02 — Work
Personal products I own end to end, plus client work at Neon Apps.
Live
Multilingual learning app with interactive, AI-assisted speaking practice. Mobile client and backend both mine.
Architecture
Live
Turn a prompt into a finished track. Generation runs async on the server so the app never blocks.
Architecture
Live
Upload a selfie, preview a new hairstyle. The heavy image work happens server-side, not on the phone.
Architecture
Live
Full Quran reader with search and bookmarks, prayer times with a live countdown, and a daily hadith. Built backend-first and shipped solo.
Architecture
Live
English learning experience where lesson state, progress and AI tutoring flow through a serverless backend.
Architecture
Live
Cross-platform app built on Clean Architecture, with backend logic and real-time data handled server-side.
Architecture
Live
Community app for connecting and sharing, with real-time updates, notifications and interactive feeds.
Architecture
Live
Vertical short-form video at scale: preloading, smooth swipe playback and episode-based content.
Architecture
Live
Card-based conversation game: people share and answer meaningful questions to spark deeper talk.

03 — Path
From engineering fundamentals to shipping consumer software, the services behind it, and the cloud it runs on.
Neon Apps · Full-time
Building consumer products end to end: Flutter clients plus backend work across API design, data modelling and architecture. Clean Architecture, Provider and Riverpod, REST services, Firebase (Auth, Firestore, Functions, Storage) and store releases on both platforms.

Foundational AWS credential covering core services, the shared responsibility model, pricing and security — the ground under the EC2, RDS and S3 work my apps run on.
