About Bugra

I'm Bugra, an indie developer from Turkey who turns ideas into real products that people use every day. Over the past several years, I've designed, developed, and shipped 12+ applications across the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, reaching thousands of users worldwide.

My primary stack revolves around Flutter and Dart for cross-platform mobile development, combined with Swift for native iOS and macOS experiences. On the backend side, I work with Python for AI/ML integration and data processing, and rely on Google Firebase for cloud infrastructure including authentication, real-time databases, and analytics.

What drives me is the intersection of technology and human experience. My apps span a wide range of domains: from Jungian psychology and shadow work (ShadowART) to game theory and cognitive science (MindType), from WiFi signal processing for home security (Pulse Guard) to creative entertainment tools (Brolled). Each project starts with a genuine curiosity about a problem and ends with a polished product that solves it.

I believe in privacy-first design, clean user interfaces, and shipping things that actually work. Every app I build prioritizes user data protection, with features like on-device processing, end-to-end encryption, and zero third-party tracking. I'm also passionate about exploring emerging technologies like AI-powered natural language processing, sentiment analysis, WiFi Channel State Information (CSI) for presence detection, and procedural content generation.

Projects & Apps

A collection of apps I've designed, developed, and shipped. From AI-powered wellness tools to creative entertainment — each built with care for design, privacy, and user experience.

Development Approach

Every project at umay.dev follows a consistent development philosophy built around four core principles: privacy by design, user-centric interfaces, cross-platform reach, and rapid iteration.

Privacy by Design

Privacy isn't an afterthought — it's the foundation. Apps like ShadowART process all emotional data entirely on-device using Apple Core ML and Natural Language frameworks. No journal entries, mood data, or personal reflections ever leave the user's device. This approach extends to Pulse Guard, where WiFi signal analysis happens locally on the Mac without sending network data to external servers.

Cross-Platform Development with Flutter

For apps targeting both iOS and Android, Flutter provides an efficient development workflow. Past cross-platform releases include CalendART, Nazar, Kidity, Arithmio, Mood Connect, and Filmzy — all shipped simultaneously to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. For macOS-native experiences like Pulse Guard and Pulse Home, Swift and SwiftUI deliver the best integration with system frameworks like HomeKit, CoreBluetooth, and CoreWLAN.

AI and Machine Learning Integration

Several apps leverage AI and machine learning capabilities. ShadowART uses on-device sentiment analysis and NLP to analyze journal entries in real time. MindType applies game theory algorithms to identify cognitive patterns and decision-making styles. Nazar used GPT-based language models for generating personalized astrological readings. The common thread is making AI useful and accessible without compromising user privacy.

Shipping and Iteration

I believe in shipping early and iterating based on real user feedback. Every app goes through a cycle of prototyping, beta testing through Apple TestFlight, and public release. Analytics via Firebase Analytics and App Store Connect help identify what features users actually engage with, guiding the development roadmap for updates and new features.
