iOS Developer | Swift • SwiftUI • UIKit | Apple Developer Academy Graduate
Hi, I'm Arya an iOS developer and Apple Developer Academy graduate with several years of experience building apps in the Apple ecosystem. During my time at the Apple Academy, I developed my skills in coding, product design, and business strategy through hands-on projects and mentorship from Apple engineers, designers, and industry experts.
What clients achieve by working with me:
• Build and launch their MVP quickly (because great ideas shouldn’t stay in a notebook forever)
• Transform an idea into a real App Store product
• Design apps that are ready for real users and scalable growth
• Improve their App Store presence using ASO (App Store Optimization)
I can help take a product from idea to launch, including development, user experience, App Store preparation, metadata optimization, and strategies that increase downloads and revenue potential.
In other words: you bring the idea, I help turn it into a real app people can download (and hopefully love).
If you're looking for a developer who can build your app from zero to App Store launch and maybe enjoy the process a little too, I’d be happy to collaborate.
I graduated from the Apple Developer Academy at the University of Naples Federico II, where I worked in international teams and built multiple real-world products following Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines and App Store best practices.
During the program, I developed and shipped several applications, participated in weekly reviews with Apple mentors, and learned how to transform ideas into polished, production-ready apps.
Today I focus on building modern iOS applications using Swift, SwiftUI, and UIKit, with strong attention to usability, accessibility, and performance.
Some highlights of my experience:
• Developed and published 10+ iOS applications
• Apps downloaded by thousands of users on the App Store
• Experience with Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, Combine, CoreData, AVFoundation, and SpriteKit
• Strong focus on accessibility (VoiceOver, haptics, inclusive design)
• Experience building apps involving camera, audio, and device sensors
• Worked in international teams using Agile workflows and Git
I approach every project with a clear goal: build apps that are clean, intuitive, and ready for real users.
If you're looking for an iOS developer who understands both the technical side and the user experience side of apps, I’d be happy to collaborate.
Let’s build something great.

Flutter & iOS developer with 7+ years shipping mobile apps across AI, fintech, social, and insurance — from solo MVP builds to production apps handling real user data.
⭐ 100% Job Success Score on Upwork · 25+ five-star reviews
If you're starting a Flutter app from scratch, I take it from idea to the App Store and Play Store. If your app has an AI feature that needs to actually work — not just look good in a demo — that's usually where I come in. If a previous developer left you with something that needs an honest audit, I've been brought in for exactly that too.
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗲𝘁
✔️ One Flutter codebase shipped to iOS and Android at once — 80% faster than building two native apps separately.
✔️ Real AI integration: Claude/OpenAI API, prompt engineering, LLM fine-tuning — not a demo wrapper.
✔️ 4+ years of native iOS (Swift/SwiftUI) depth underneath the Flutter work, so I catch platform-specific issues Flutter-only developers tend to miss.
✔️ Hired specifically to audit and rebuild apps other developers left broken — 15+ rescue projects completed.
✔️ Apps shipped across AI, fintech, social, and insurance — there's a good chance I've already solved a version of your problem.
Send me what you're building and I'll reply with a scope estimate and the first technical decision I'd settle.

Most AI video gives itself away — morphing faces, flickering logos,
motion that falls apart. I create cinematic AI films and ads that look
shot on a real camera: locked characters, true cinematography, and sound
design built shot by shot.
🎬 WHAT I CREATE
- Cinematic short films & brand/hero films
- Documentary & corporate films with real story structure
- Stylized animation (including retro cel-anime look)
- High-converting UGC ads & product commercials (beauty, skincare, perfume)
- Matching AI still frames & key art for every project
🎯 WHY MY WORK STANDS OUT
- Stable, consistent characters, logos & flags — no morphing or flickering
- Real cinematic language: large-format/RED look, slow motion, depth of
field, deliberate camera movement
- Full pipeline handled: concept → shot plan → generation → final edit
- Custom SFX & sound design layered per scene, never stock music on top
