My name is Cihat Gündüz (Cihat reads like "Jeehut"). 👋
I'm a Spatial-first Indie Developer for Platforms from 🇩🇪 Germany and I do iOS development since 2011. I like to contribute to our awesome community by creating Open Source Tools (BartyCrouch, HandySwift, ReviewKit, etc.) or helping out in existing projects (SwiftLint, SwiftGen, Moya, etc.).
Since 2022 I write the Swift Evolution Monthly newsletter where I summarize the newest developments in the Swift language for thousands of free subscribers. Since 2023 I'm the organizer of the WWDC Notes community project.
I share my learnings regularly on 🐦 Twitter (X), on 🧵 Threads, and 🦣 Mastodon. Follow me there for development tips & contact me to discuss anything.
