Senior iOS Developer for Fashion MVP

I have a complete set of technical specifications and a well-defined architecture for the first release of a fashion-focused iOS app. The main challenge in this MVP is an AI-driven image-recognition module: when a user uploads a photo, the app must identify the fashion items in it. I plan to build this on OpenAI’s vision capabilities, though I’m open to brief suggestions if you know a clearly superior path.

Work rhythm
• Eight sprints spread across roughly two months
• At the close of each sprint I test on device; once the code is stable and passes those tests, that milestone is paid immediately.
• We begin with a paid Sprint #1 to prove the collaboration.

What I’m looking for
• 3+ years of hands-on mobile development (Swift / SwiftUI or Objective-C if justified)
• Demonstrable experience wiring AI services into production apps—ideally vision models or similar rich media processing
• Direct freelancers only; I will not work through agencies or intermediaries
• Comfortable communicating in Russian on daily stand-ups and code reviews

When you reply, please include
1. A brief portfolio link highlighting at least one project that shows your AI integration skills
2. Your ballpark rate range for sprint-based work
3. Your recommendation—Flutter or React Native—for the later cross-platform phase, and a short justification

Deliverables for the MVP phase
• A fully functioning iOS app that recognises fashion items from user photos via OpenAI’s vision API
• Clean, documented code pushed to our Git repo each sprint
• Unit tests covering the image-recognition flow
• Build on TestFlight for acceptance at the end of every sprint

A smooth first sprint will open the door to a long-term role in what is shaping up to be a broad international project. If this aligns with your skills and schedule, I’m ready to get Sprint #1 underway.
