About Me
Hi! I'm Kojo, a creative technologist that plays with immersive computing and artificial intelligence. I blend expertise in game engine development (Unity, Unreal Engine) with AI systems development, creating solutions across multiple platforms and realities. My technical arsenal spans spatial computing platforms (Meta Quest, Apple Vision Pro) and modern web technologies (React Three Fiber, WebXR), enabling me to build experiences that bridge physical and digital worlds. As a full-stack developer and designer, I architect intelligent systems using Python while crafting intuitive user interfaces through modern frameworks. I specialize in developing multi-agent AI systems using CrewAI and Pydantic AI, creating autonomous teams of AI agents that can collaborate and solve complex problems. I also implement robust automation pipelines with n8n and develop immersive AR/VR/MR applications that push the boundaries of interactive storytelling. What sets me apart is my unique ability to synthesize creative technology with practical applications, whether developing for mobile platforms (iOS, Android) or creating immersive XR experiences. I thrive on pushing technological boundaries while ensuring solutions remain accessible and impactful.
