Hello, I'm

Atakan Apan

iOS Software Engineer

Passionate about crafting elegant mobile experiences with clean code and thoughtful design. Building apps that people love to use.

About Me

Results-driven iOS Software Engineer with a track record of shipping and scaling apps to millions. Expert in Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, and Objective-C; I build modern, modular, testable architectures that stand the test of time.

I'm passionate about best practices, pixel-perfect UI/UX, and high performance. Whether it's optimizing load times, implementing clean architecture patterns, or crafting fluid animations, I approach every challenge with precision and care.

Beyond core iOS development, I have a keen interest in on-device machine learning and product thinking. I believe great apps come from understanding both the technical craft and the user's needs.
