[ things i've built ]

Work and projects together — because context matters more than a title. These took real time, real decisions, and real people.

Founder · JALI Initiative 2024 – Present

Founded out of Buildspace. The problem was simple: AI and local languages are underrepresented, and a lot of people are locked out of it entirely because of language, ability, or access.

  • Published a Python library wrapping Khaya AI — speech-to-text, translation, TTS — used by tens of thousands globally
  • Designed accessibility tools: braille pad concept, sign language system for low-light environments, sign-to-dot-matrix pipeline
  • Built an AI chatbot that converses in local African languages
  • Ran VR outreach events across Ghana — gave thousands their first experience of virtual reality, including rural communities

Final Year Project · Universal Low-Latency Digital Twin 2025 – 2026

A bidirectional digital twin where physical hardware and an XR environment stay in sync in real time. The hard part wasn't the sync — it was stopping them from feeding back into each other.

  • Raspberry Pi 5 as edge node, Mosquitto MQTT over TCP and WebSocket
  • Meta Quest 2 XR interface via Meta IWSDK and Vite
  • Solved the echo-loop problem with a Shadow Twin technique — source-tagged MQTT messages
  • Every hardware component modelled in Blender as GLTF assets: relay modules, servo motors, DHT22 sensor
