Hi there! I’m Davide Castaldi, a Computer Engineer passionate about development of experiences across Apple’s ecosystem. For the past two years, I’ve been honing my skills as part of the Apple Developer Academy, where I’ve explored and mastered development across iOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, iPadOS, and the groundbreaking visionOS platform.

During my first year at the Academy, I dove deep into the development process for:

• iOS: Swift apps with beautiful and accessible user interfaces.
• macOS: Leveraging macOS-specific capabilities for desktop applications.
• watchOS: Apps focused on minimalistic interfaces and context-aware notifications.
• tvOS: Big-screen experiences tailored for media consumption.
• iPadOS: Harnessing the power of the larger canvas with Pencil support.
• visionOS: Created my first project ever.

Many of the apps developed on these platforms are on the store!

I’m currently focused on visionOS, Apple’s newest frontier for spatial computing. My projects revolve around:

• Designing intuitive spatial user interfaces and experiences.
• Building immersive 3D experiences with RealityKit.
• Pioneering augmented, mixed, virtual and extened reality solutions for next-generation apps.

There are 2 Apps that have been my greatest, along with a visionOS framework:

• Astral Wilds an app developed for visionOS This project allows the user to be at the center of the solar system and experience a travel to Mars https://apps.apple.com/it/app/astral-wilds/id6504463149?l=en-GB or check the repository here https://github.com/Dave-Ed-Cast/Astral-Wilds

• Tria Tactics an app developed for iOS A reinvented Tic Tac Toe game that destroyes the standard mechanic of "draws", making it more engaging https://apps.apple.com/it/app/tria-tactics/id6502848520?l=en-GB or check the repository here https://github.com/Dave-Ed-Cast/TriaTactics

• VisionTextArc a framework for curved text in visionOS! Check it here https://github.com/Dave-Ed-Cast/VisionTextArc

Also, my repositories are public to be looked at!

• 🚀 Working on projects in collaboration with researchers from Federico II, focused on spatial computing and app creation for visionOS in the medical field.
• 🕶️ Maintenance of my greatest projects
• 💡 Always thinking about the next idea for development!
