John F.
iOS Developer (15+ years) | VR (visionOS, Unity) | Eng Manager
I'm a software engineer specializing in VR/AR and spatial computing, with 15+ years of iOS experience. Recent work includes leading development on Björk's Vulnicura VR Remastered for Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest, and building VR music instruments. I ship polished apps across visionOS, iOS, and Quest. My AppleTina won Best Native App at VisionDevCamp 2024. Before going independent, I spent 8 years at Etsy as an Engineering Manager and Tech Lead, shipping features to millions of users. I work in Swift, C#/Unity, and increasingly use AI-assisted development to move fast without sacrificing quality.
