Zafer Şiar Konyar
Summary
I am a Computer Science graduate of the University of Greenwich, finishing with First-Class Honours. I build mobile and web products end to end, from the first feature to the App Store release, and I like shipping things people actually use. I am currently interning at Kuto Data AI, working through a structured Python, containerisation and CI/CD curriculum with weekly code reviews. Take a look at my projects to see my work in action. Alongside that, I am building Hercule, a mobile application designed to enhance gym experience for gym rats.

Projects
Hercule Published on App Store With AI Feature
Live: gethercule.app
Solo developer — React Native (Expo), TypeScript, Firebase. A fitness tracking app I originally built for logging workouts, shipped to the App Store as a full fitness platform with workout logging, custom labels and calendar history. I handled the complete release pipeline myself: App Store Connect setup, metadata, ASO and store assets. Currently building an AI gym companion powered by the Gemini Flash model.
A Way Out Published on App Store
Live: awayout.app
Solo developer — Swift, Apple Screen Time API, Core NFC. An iOS productivity app I originally built to block digital distractions, evolved into an unbypassable focus tool that locks distracting apps behind a physical NFC tag, enforcing the block at the OS level.
Optimised Crypto Transaction Batching – Final Year Project
Solo developer — Solidity, blockchain. A decentralised application designed to reduce the carbon footprint of cryptocurrency transactions through efficient batching and scheduling. I evaluated how different transaction grouping strategies affect gas cost and overall energy use.
Event Manager – Desktop Scheduling System
Co-developer — Java, JDBC, SQLite. A team project where I helped coordinate task distribution and delivery against the project specification. I produced UML domain models, implemented the object-oriented class structure, and built the persistence layer with SQLite and JDBC using repository patterns and full CRUD operations.
Network Distributed System – Local Chat App
Co-developer — Java, WebSockets. A real-time messaging system supporting both public and private chats, with coordinator reassignment logic to keep the system stable when a client disconnects. Backed by 50+ unit tests and strong OOP principles across the codebase.
Gumruk Beyan Tara – Web App
Live: gumrukbeyantara.com
A productivity tool that processes import declarations by splitting them into product items and generating concise summaries. Built to improve efficiency at IKRA Logistics and now actively used by employees.
Uni Night Out – Web App
Live: uninightout.vercel.app
A platform developed with my friend to help university students easily organise and attend events. Built with Next.js.
