Since 2013, we’ve been building and deploying cutting-edge solutions at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI), mixed reality (MR), and augmented reality (AR). Our products have supported clients in defense, healthcare, nuclear power, sports, and consumer tech—delivering real-world impact across industries. What We Do Best: 🔍 AI-Driven Computer Vision We design and deploy custom models for object detection, facial recognition, image segmentation, pose estimation, and depth sensing. Our team works with Apple’s Vision framework, YOLO, TensorFlow, CoreML, MediaPipe, and OpenCV—optimized for mobile, edge, and embedded systems. 🚀 OpenClaw ClawdBot Early Innovator! I created the first OpenClaw governance and safety layer (like antivirus but for controlling AI Agents) called ClawBoss.ai . It deterministically blocks unauthorized agent actions, secures users API keys, tokens, etc. and even anonymizes their personal information. 🧠 Machine Learning at the Edge From real-time inference on mobile devices to on-device learning for AR headsets and IoT sensors, we specialize in bringing intelligence to constrained environments—without reliance on the cloud. 🛠 Cross-Platform Spatial App Development Whether it’s ARKit on iOS, RealityKit on Vision Pro, or MRTK on Hololens, we bring ideas to life with a robust technical stack: Swift, Flutter, Unity 3D, Python, and more. We’ve built camera-based systems, gesture controls, UWB positioning features, and context-aware spatial workflows. 🧬 Human Behavior & Emotion Tracking We’ve built AI pipelines for facial expression classification, gaze detection, and skeletal tracking, applied in high-stakes domains like defense, public safety, and professional sports. 🚀 Rapid Prototyping & Productization We go beyond demos. Our team takes concepts from wireframes to working prototypes—and then all the way to deployed systems used in the field. Clients often tap us for technical validation, pilot programs, and IP-generating innovations. Let’s talk about how we can bring your next AI + AR project to life—efficiently, creatively, and with future-proof architecture.

I build Android apps in Kotlin, games and interactive tools in Unity, and I bring real XR/spatial experience most Android and Unity developers don't have. 3+ years across Kotlin/Jetpack Compose, Unity/C#, and XR for Meta Quest, Samsung Galaxy XR, and Apple Vision Pro. My day job is Android XR developer, building spatial apps for Samsung's Galaxy XR platform (Project Moohan) — so if your Android or Unity project ever needs to touch AR/VR/spatial, I'm not learning it on your dime. What I actually fix, not just list as skills: - Performance bottlenecks — diagnosed and fixed memory and multithreading issues on a Unity project, cutting memory usage by up to 35% using profiler-driven analysis, not guesswork - Broken or laggy XR tracking — ARCore plane detection, hit-testing, and panorama/video rendering pipelines (built with ExoPlayer) - Messy backend/app architecture — dependency injection (Dagger/Hilt), GraphQL API integration, clean separation between networking, ViewModels, and repositories - AI/ML features that need to actually ship — trained a shot-recognition model for a cricket game, built AI-driven features into a multiplayer VR product A sample of what I've shipped: native Android XR builds (a working Guitar Tuner, a tabletop RC Car experience for Meta Quest), multiplayer VR (Table Tennis, Boxing Arena), enterprise XR (Digital Twins, Real Estate Tours), and mixed reality tools (a Dr. Strange-style portal, a Window Portal, Sticky Notes). I started as a self-taught game developer, so gameplay feel and performance work are second nature. How I work: I vet the idea before writing code, scope tight, build fast, and treat your product like it has to work for real users, not just demo well once. Need an Android/Kotlin developer, a Unity developer, or someone who can do both plus XR? Message me, I'm available now.

FAQs on Hiring Augmented Reality Developers

What is augmented reality?

Augmented reality (AR) is a computer technology that involves superimposing computer-generated graphics over a user’s view of the real world. From developing custom social media filters to building interactive AR-powered video games, AR developers are here to help. 

How do you hire augmented reality developers?

You can source AR talent on Upwork by following these three steps:

  • Write a project description. You’ll want to determine your scope of work and the skills and requirements you are looking for in AR developers.
  • Post it on Upwork. Once you’ve written a project description, post it to Upwork. Simply follow the prompts to help you input the information you collected to scope out your project.
  • Shortlist and interview AR developers. Once the proposals start coming in, create a shortlist of the professionals you want to interview. 

Of these three steps, your project description is where you will determine your scope of work and the specific type of AR developer you need to complete your project.

How much does it cost to hire an AR developer?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced AR developer may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their AR development services more competitively. 

Rates typically charged by AR developers on Upwork are:

  • Beginner: $17 per hour
  • Intermediate: $42 per hour
  • Advanced: $199 per hour

How do you write an AR developer job post?

Your job post is your chance to describe your project scope, budget, and talent needs. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

Job post title

Create a simple title that describes exactly what you’re looking for. The idea is to target the keywords that your ideal candidate is likely to type into a job search bar to find your project. Here are some sample augmented reality developer job post titles:

  • Augmented reality specialist needed for a mobile app (iOS/Android)
  • Building an AR app with Unity
  • Need an AR developer to build models for an AR shopping app

Project description

An effective AR job post should include: 

  • Scope of work: From AR advertisements to AR games, list all the deliverables you’ll need. 
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project. 
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries, developer tools, or AR technologies, mention this here. 
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.
