About Orbitus
Rodolfo Aramayo
Senior iOS/macOS Developer
I am a developer for macOS/iOS/watchOS/VisionOS. I have dedicated all my time and resources throughout my professional career to perfecting my craft of delivering amazing software with Swift, SwiftUI and Objcetive-C. I was on the Apple hardware team writing and debugging automation tools infrastructure in order to facilitate the testing of the latest products to the world. I have had the privilege to work with the most powerful frameworks ever created for the Apple ecosystem and am honored to have had a chance to touch the insides of these devices for over 2.6 years. Before this I worked with the Apple Store app and Caffé Macs in my previous positions at Apple. I delivered some of the most cutting edge AR experiences ranging from Sports Illustrated, AR cinema experiences for movies like Ready Player One, and even AR Experiences for Comopolitan. I try to hone my craft by working on my passion project, R.O.B. A droid that utilizes a Mac mini in order to test my realtime software engineering skills along with my mechanical engineering skills. I have always tried to push the boundaries of AR and Robotics. I have been to MakerFaire multiple times with my droid and strive to inspire and encourage young engineers to live their dreams and enjoy the love and excitement of writing code that moves and talks with the latest LLM models like ChatGPT and Gemini. I am a father of 7 children and a husband to a wonderful wife. Please follow our droid on social media

Here at TCS, I have been an onsite member of Apple’s Automation and testing team to provide the world with the next line of Apple products.

The position involves Objective-C, Swift, and SwiftUI mastery as well as Python. Our team has deployed machine learning systems that provide automated cellular voice KPI’s and help flag wireless interference and static audio anomalies in all the new Apple products we all love.

Help navigate our clients to their next! We provide digital client development services for iOS with our expertise in swift and obj-c.

I also helped our client at Macy’s navigate to their next by migrating their existing IBM CoreMetrics analytics to Adobe analytics within our budgeted time frame. With over 2 billion dollars in revenue each year and growing, it was paramount that we provided a crash free and flawless migration. Let us help guide you to your next in today’s technological seas!

MindTree
Web Architect
October 2014 - March 2015 (6 months)
Austin, TX
I developed http://help.ea.com frontend UI and salesforce backend (EA’s help website for its millions of gamers, internationally). Ranging from their hot titles at the time, we made sure each was delivered with a cutting edge user experience that would connect our gamer customers to the team of assistance personnel. We also tailored the custom assistance personal javascript webapp, written in-house by one of they former web architects, that used salesforce backends to manage live chat with EA customers as well as financial payment transactions.
Klink
macOS Developer
September 2012 - August 2014 (2 years)
Austin, TX
Klink is the exact replica of DropBox but it was based in indonesia for a telecom company. I was in charge of the macOS version of the file management application. This involved the dark art of reverse engineering the Finder to install custom icon hooks that delivered the same features that DropBox did when overriding the Finder’s icon’s so you could see the cloud status. Swizzling mach methods in objective C mixed with a python file management engine required some advanced macOS knowledge to perform.
Guidelight Business Solutions

January 2012 - July 2012 (7 months)
715 Discovery Blvd, suite 306 Ceder Park, Texas
Enterprise software development. I worked on architecting and implementing enterprise grade solutions for large business clients.

Appiction LLC
iOS Developer
March 2010 - September 2011 (1 year 7 months)
Austin, TX
iOS/Web Developer. Appiction started out as only a startup company. It was through my hard work and Spencer Forest’s cunning silver-tongue that we became MutualMobile’s most vicious competitor in Austin. We outbid them for millions of dollars in contracts, right from under their feet. While at Appiction, I was tasked with cleaning up the current projects that were outsourced and not working, my career was based on rebuilding and rearchitecting those client applications from the ground up. Working with Page 4 of 6 large teams of masterful artists, I helped develop and implement inter- team dependencies that streamlined the production of more than 40 major projects for the company. I built and architected over 15 of those projects from the ground up working with iOS technology, video graphics editors, AVFoundation, javascript - cocoa web app integration bridges. I helped train new programmers and managed their progress. I showed extreme initiative to get the team together and unify. I initiated gatherings with delicious home- cooked food to bring the people of the team together. www.appiction.com has become www.appsaustin.com
Mutual Mobile
iOS Developer
December 2009 - March 2010 (4 months)
Austin, TX
iOS developer in the booming mobile development industry. They were paying very little at the time and the industry was gaining so much momentum. I worked on client requested apps with a team of artists and project managers. Airometer was a hobbs meter for iOS that would track airplane flight hours around the iOS 3.0 days. I jumped ship to Appiction because of the lack of available hours at work which ended up being a great move.
GameSalad, Inc
iOS OpenGLES Developer
December 2007 - November 2009 (2 years)
Austin, TX
iOS / Mac OpenGL and OpenGLES graphics software engineer at GameSalad. I was 1 of 4 founding members that started the entire company, as a contractor I was not entitled to anything except the lessons on how to be a professional iOS contract developer. I have not stopped contracting ever since I was there when we decided to make the icon, we chose blue first but it became purple. Great work Yoshi (Josh Seymour). I wrote their first OpenGL ES Asteroids demo, when first and second round of funding was still 2 years away, with Dan Treiman before the first Apple iOS SDK was ever released. We had to push our code through the command line on the first generation iPhone. Separately, I also worked on QTV (a Playstation product). This was my introduction into the professional programming environment.
