Hi, I'm
Nathan Espejo
Passionate Software Engineering student crafting innovative solutions that bridge hardware and software, from VR experiences to AI-driven applications.
About Me
I'm a Software Engineering student at Western University with strong skills in game development, Android app creation, and hardware prototyping. I enjoy building immersive VR games, crafting intuitive Android apps, and designing wearable devices that merge software with physical interaction.
My multidisciplinary approach blends full-stack development, embedded systems, and artificial intelligence to create technology that feels like a natural extension of the body and mind. Passionate about mental health, accessibility, and ethical design, I'm excited to explore how AI and emerging technologies can shape the future of human-computer interaction.
