I'm a freelance iOS engineer specializing in augmented reality, computer vision, and spatial AI. I develop on-device AR/CV for Apple platforms – or any type of iOS/macOS app. I've also shipped three visionOS apps and several enterprise client visionOS explorations.
Since 2017 I've built for Mozilla, Walmart, Carnegie Mellon, solo founders, startups later acquired by OpenAI & Shopify, and R&D teams at large corporations. Several apps I've built have been featured by Apple.
Latest solo app: minimap – a realtime 3D map of your home (i.e. a live digital twin) that renders the people inside it in 3D (demo vid: <a href="https://youtu.be/86vGyX5AL94" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/86vGyX5AL94).
