React Native Developer — AR Golf Putting App (Camera + Sensors + Physics Engine) — MVP Build

Posted 2 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

I'm building CaddieEye — an AR golf putting app that draws a live putting line on the camera feed accounting for slope, wind, temperature and humidity in real time. No other app does this. The app already has a validated concept — 3,700 people saw the demo in 24 hours, waitlist building at caddieeye.golf. WHAT MAKES THIS JOB DIFFERENT: You are not starting from scratch. I will hand you on day one: • Complete working UI demo (React JSX) • Full physics/break calculator (TypeScript) • Camera integration architecture • Weather API hook (Open-Meteo — free, no key) • GPS and IMU sensor hooks • Object detection strategy (CV + YOLOv8) • Kalman filter for coordinate smoothing • Distance estimation utility • Stats storage model (AsyncStorage) • Full file structure and architecture document • Live landing page with waitlist already building You are building on a complete blueprint — not figuring out what to build. TECH STACK: • React Native (Expo) • TypeScript • expo-camera / react-native-vision-camera • react-native-sensors (DeviceMotion) • expo-location (GPS) • React Native Skia (AR overlay) • TensorFlow Lite (ML detection — Phase 2) • AsyncStorage (stats) • Open-Meteo API (weather — free, no key needed) MVP SCOPE (Phase 1 — this contract): 1. Live camera feed with SVG overlay 2. Tap-to-place ball and hole markers 3. Curved AR putting line on camera feed 4. Red aim point marker 5. IMU slope detection (gyroscope) 6. GPS + live weather integration 7. Break calculator wired to all inputs 8. Bottom HUD (distance, break, power, wind) 9. After-putt result modal (made/missed) 10. Basic stats screen (make %, by distance) 11. iOS + Android both PHASE 2 (separate discussion — revenue share available for the right person): • Auto ball/hole detection (computer vision) • Apple Watch haptic alignment guide • Club suggestions • Full AI caddie features TIMELINE: 6–8 weeks for Phase 1 MVP. I am flexible for the right developer. BUDGET: Fixed price — please quote your honest rate. Milestone based payments preferred. IDEAL CANDIDATE: • Strong React Native / Expo (3+ years) • Experience with device camera and sensors • SVG or canvas overlays on live camera feed • TypeScript comfortable • Ships clean commented code • Good communicator — I am non-technical • Portfolio of shipped mobile apps IMPORTANT — Revenue share opportunity: If you are the right person and Phase 1 goes well, I want to talk about bringing you on as a technical co-founder for Phase 2 and beyond. This is a real business with a global market and a genuine gap — not a hobby project. TO APPLY — please answer these 4 questions: 1. Have you built anything with camera overlays or AR on mobile? 2. Have you worked with device motion sensors in React Native? 3. What is your realistic timeline for Phase 1? 4. Link to one relevant app you have shipped. Applications without answers to all 4 questions will not be reviewed. Starting within 2 weeks. Serious applicants only.
