Engineering, UI/UX, AI and Physical Intelligence.

Godwin Addo

I build software that solves hard problems. Over the years, I've worked alongside brilliant minds in Data, Robotics, AI/ML, and Automation; tackling everything from Infrastructure, Resourcing, Developer Tooling and Finance.

I'm currently focused on Safety, Security and User Experiences with AI and emerging technology that just works.

What I Care About

AI, Automation, Robotics

Building intelligent systems that can perceive, reason, and act autonomously. I'm particularly interested in computer vision, sensor fusion, and how we can make robots more capable and reliable in real-world environments.

User and Developer Experiences

Creating interfaces and tools that feel natural and intuitive. Great technology should amplify human abilities, not hinder them. I care deeply about the craft of building experiences that users and developers actually enjoy.

Efficiency, Safety and Security

As systems become more autonomous and interconnected, the energy and resource requirements increase exponentially. This becomes a big problem at scale. I focus on building systems that can be trusted to operate reliably with minimal resources, while ensuring user security and safety.
