App and Software Developer for Businesses in Saudi Arabia

Mobile apps, web platforms, ERP modules and integrations for companies in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam and across the Kingdom — from a senior developer in the same time zone.

Quick answerHakan Sevimoğlu is a freelance full stack and iOS developer in Izmir, Turkey, with 18 years of experience. Saudi Arabia and Turkey are both on UTC+3, so there is no time difference at all, and the Monday–Thursday working days overlap fully. He builds iOS and Android apps, web platforms, ERP/MRP systems, POS software and API integrations.

Same time zone, direct communication

Saudi Arabia and Turkey share the same clock (UTC+3). Meetings, reviews and urgent fixes happen in real time, without anyone working late. The Saudi working week runs Sunday to Thursday and Turkey's Monday to Friday, so Monday to Thursday are shared working days.

As the Kingdom digitises under Vision 2030, many companies need apps, platforms and integrations built quickly and reliably. Working directly with a senior developer removes the layers that slow agency projects down.

What I build for Saudi businesses

Customer and field-service apps, ordering and booking systems, ERP/MRP modules for production and distribution, B2B dealer portals, POS and inventory software, AI-powered sales tools, and integrations between existing systems.

E-invoicing, payment and government-platform integrations are API-based; I scope each one against the official documentation (for example ZATCA's e-invoicing specifications) during the pre-analysis and include it in the written proposal.

ERP and production experience

I built a production ERP for Mobilesse, a furniture manufacturer in Bursa, covering orders, BOM/MRP, production planning, shipping and inventory. I also built a PPE vending and distribution system used by Brisa. Operations-heavy software is where most of my 18 years have gone.

Why Saudi businesses work with me

  • One accountable developer

    You talk to the person who writes the code. No account managers, no hand-offs between sales and a hidden offshore team.

  • Full stack, end to end

    iOS & Android apps, web platforms, backends, APIs, ERP modules and hardware/IoT — designed, built, deployed and maintained by the same engineer.

  • Staged delivery

    Work is split into milestones you can test. You approve each stage before the next one starts, so budget and scope stay under control.

  • Source code ownership

    The code, repositories and accounts are yours. Documentation and handover are part of the job, not an extra.

  • Async-friendly communication

    Written updates in English, a shared task list, and short video calls when a decision needs to be made together.

  • Long-term maintenance

    18 years in the field means many systems I built are still running years later. Post-launch support is planned from day one.
