visionOS & Vision Pro Development Consulting
SwiftUI for spatial computing, RealityKit for 3D, gaze-and-pinch interaction design, and the pragmatic answer to whether your product should ship on Vision Pro at all.
- visionOS apps that use the space you're standing in
- gaze-and-pinch interaction design that users discover on their own
- accessibility on Vision Pro: VoiceOver rotors, reduced motion, motion-sickness avoidance

What clients say
"Vadim was instrumental to the success Epsy enjoyed on iOS, taking it from an idea on a Miro board to the highest rated and most downloaded app of its kind on the store."
James C. · Mobile Engineering Lead, Epsy
"We had a strict deadline, and Vadim managed to complete the job in time. He gave us meaningful feedback and suggested better approaches, not trying to blindly stick to our specification."
Founder · Pre-seed streaming service
"I can say with confidence that it will be difficult to find a better developer. Vadim is achievement-oriented, highly organized, with very good communication skills."
Alex Z. · Co-Founder, eda.so
Common engagements
'Should we build this on Vision Pro?'
Half-day to one-day call. I read the product brief and give you a direct answer with the reasoning. Half the Vision Pro projects I've been pitched should have been iPad apps. Better you know now.
Design the spatial UX
2–3 weeks producing a working prototype for a product that already exists on iPhone/iPad. You see whether it delivers before committing to a full build.
Ship a visionOS 1.0
6–10 weeks alongside your iOS app. I design the interaction for spatial use from the first sketch, then build it on RealityKit and SwiftUI primitives.
Areas I cover
Pricing
Architecture reviews, hiring help, second opinions on that thing that's been bugging you.

Questions
Does our product belong on Vision Pro?
It depends on whether your product uses the space. Good candidates: spatial browsing of dense data (graphs, CAD, architectural review), training or simulation where 1:1 scale matters, ambient reference that benefits from peripheral visibility, entertainment that exploits presence. Poor candidates: traditional 2D productivity, forms, settings, anything the user would open in a queue.
Can you reuse our iOS codebase?
Most SwiftUI views port with minor tweaks. RealityKit-heavy parts are visionOS-specific. I'll map the reuse boundary in the first engagement day so you know what's free and what's bespoke.
How do I get a quote?
Two paths. If you need speed, send me a detailed brief and I'll quote from it (usually within 48 hours). If you'd rather talk first, book a free 30-minute scoping call and I'll quote after. Most clients who pick the brief path land on the call anyway once we get into the specifics, but the door is open either way.
How quickly can you start?
Advisory calls can happen within days. For project work, I typically need 1-2 weeks notice to clear the calendar, though I keep some buffer for urgent firefighting. Check the availability badges above for current openings.
Do you work with early-stage startups?
Yes, from pre-seed to Series C and beyond. For very early teams, the advisory tier often makes more sense than project work: you get architecture guidance without committing to a large engagement before you've validated the product.
What's included in the day rate?
Everything: code, architecture decisions, code review, documentation, async Slack availability during working hours. No surprise add-ons. I bill for time spent working on your project, not for "thinking about it in the shower."
How do you handle timezone differences?
Currently in Vancouver (PST) with full overlap for North American teams. For UK and Europe, I'm online by their afternoon. For Gulf or APAC, we'd agree on overlap hours and handle the rest async. I've worked with teams from San Francisco to Dubai.
