Wandova iOS app — interactive MapKit world map with visited countries in red and flag annotations, wishlist in purple

About

Final-year Information Systems & Technologies student at Bilkent University, graduating 2027. I care about architecture, performance, and the kind of UI detail that makes an app feel genuinely native.

I've shipped production iOS in SwiftUI, built CRM software in C#, volunteered with special needs children in Pakistan, worked on a farm in Denmark, and run my own campus business. I'm drawn to hard problems in fast-moving teams — the more cross-cultural, the better.

A production iOS travel tracker built during my internship at Orion Innovation — currently launching on the App Store and continuing to evolve based on user feedback. Track visited countries and wishlists on an interactive MapKit world map, with real-time Firestore sync across devices, offline persistence via SwiftData, photo memories, achievement badges, and travel comparison.
