02/About

A senior developer who's been shipping for over a decade.

I'm Uğur Aktaş, a senior software engineer with more than 13 years of experience. In that time I've done one thing consistently: turn ideas into real, working products that people use every day.

Today I focus on SaaS and mobile: designing and building AI apps, React Native products, and the backends that power them. Working end to end means I can take a project from the first commit all the way to a live listing on the App Store and Google Play.

I also enjoy sharing what I know. Through ugurbuilds I create content for founders, indie hackers, and engineers around the world, with practical insights on building software and growing a startup.
