Kacper Rączy is an iOS developer with nine years of hands-on experience building mobile UIs and integrating complex systems, currently based in the United States. He combines mobile engineering with back-end and DevOps know-how, contributing to high-impact open-source projects like commaai’s openpilot—helping extend driver-assistance support across hundreds of cars—and the UTM virtual machine for iOS where he implemented terminal UI and integration. Passionate about computer vision and generative deep learning, he brings that research-minded curiosity to practical engineering challenges. Comfortable moving between Swift UI work and system-level integrations, he has a track record of shipping robust features that bridge user-facing interfaces and low-level process control. Notably, his contributions span both product UX (terminal emulation in UTM) and safety-adjacent systems (ecamera and process whitelisting in openpilot), reflecting a rare blend of polish and systems depth.
openpilot is an operating system for robotics. Currently, it upgrades the driver assistance system on 275+ supported cars.
