Flutter Developer Full-Stack Developer iOS Developer Open Source Author IT Consultant

I'm Yahya — a developer from Munich. 15+ years in IT, and for the last 5 I've been building Flutter apps full-time: from a 16-player real-time party game to an open-source package. One codebase, iOS & Android, clean all the way down to the backend.

About

From certified engineer to Flutter specialist.

I started building websites in 2009 — today I ship cross-platform apps with Flutter, backends included. As an IHK-certified software engineer I learned both sides of the craft: solid engineering and an eye for what users actually need. At an international software company I own the full app architecture as a full-stack developer — from UI to Cloud Functions to app store releases.

Mafia Party

A social deduction party game for up to 16 players in real time — as the main full-stack developer I own the architecture and implementation of the entire app. Currently in closed beta on TestFlight & Google Play.

Real-time sync

16 devices with zero perceptible lag: phase-scoped database nodes and atomic transactions against race conditions.

🎭

Role-based UI

Every player sees a different interface — one widget system renders faction screens within a single navigation flow.

📶

Offline resilience

Presence tracking and a reconnect flow: returning players are back in the game instantly, without disrupting the round.

🏆

Progression & social

Clan system with battles, battle pass, in-game shop, referral program — a complete engagement economy.

// One change per widget, real SEO:
Text('Welcome').h1
// → <h1>Welcome</h1>

Column(children: [...]).section

// SSR server, sitemap, JSON-LD, prerendering —
// pure Dart, no Puppeteer.

esen_seo — open source

My Flutter package solves Flutter Web's biggest problem: search engines only see an empty canvas. esen_seo mirrors the widget tree as real semantic HTML — including a bot-aware SSR server, static prerendering, meta/OpenGraph and Schema.org JSON-LD. 110+ tests, Apache-2.0 licensed.
