My Avatar

Hi, I'm Alessio Rubicini!

I'm an iOS Developer currently exploring Product Engineering and Human-Computer Interaction. Over the last 5+ years I've built native apps and open source tools for Apple platforms. Today I'm especially interested in AI interfaces, spatial computing, and designing more natural ways for humans to interact with technology.

Based in Italy 🇮🇹 Swift Student Challenge Winner 2025 Curious about why I build?

Work

Here you can find some of the things that I've built. I'm always looking for new challenges and opportunities to build something new and innovative.

Writing

Sometimes I love to get things out of my head and write about my ideas, experiences, learnings and contributions. Here you can find some of my writings.

  • Judgment is Becoming Scarce —

    A personal reflection on product engineering and the shifting role of software developers in 2026.

  • A Time of Opportunities —

    Reflections on how modern technology acts as a force multiplier for learning, building and creativity.

  • My Swift Student Challenge Journey —

    A reflection on my journey as an Apple Swift Student Challenge winner in 2025.

  • Introducing Session Types in Swift —

    Exploring how session types can bring formal verification and type safety to concurrent Swift protocols, and introducing my custom implementation library.

Tools & Open Source

I believe in the power of open software and community collaboration. These are some of the projects I've released for the developer community.

Now

  • Currently completing my master’s thesis on Secure Enclave-based passwordless Web3 wallets while exploring Human-Computer Interaction, AI interfaces, and emerging interaction paradigms.
  • Recently shipped Fynn, a finance app focused on creating calm, low-friction financial experiences through thoughtful native design.
  • Looking forward to contributing to products and teams working at the intersection of product engineering, AI, and human-centered technology.
