Edward Lok AI-Powered Creative Technologist
I build AI-powered products, consumer apps, enterprise tools, and intelligent workflows. Rooted in 3D & XR, fluent in the full modern stack.
About Me
I'm a software engineer and creative technologist who builds products across the full spectrum, iOS apps, AI-integrated web platforms, and immersive 3D tools for companies like Nike.
My career started in early Virtual Reality, which gave me a rare foundation in spatial thinking, real-time systems, and building for emerging platforms before the "metaverse" existed. That background deepened through years at XR studios and a multi-year contract engineering 3D pipeline tools at Nike.
In the past year I've experimented with AI workflows heavily, launching consumer-facing apps powered by modern AI, from an AI receipt-splitter to an iOS wardrobe manager to a supply chain dashboard.
I care about the intersection of great engineering and thoughtful product design, and I strive to apply new technology to solve challenges.
