Saqoosha

Known by many for his trademark bear hat, Saqoosha is a programmer and the Chief Technology Officer at Whatever. Working primarily in Unity, he moves freely across a wide range of front-end-centered technologies, including Unreal Engine, TouchDesigner, JavaScript / TypeScript, Python, C / C++, and Swift. Going back and forth between software and hardware, digital and physical, and the real and the virtual, he translates technology into a language of experience and expression.

He combines engineering precision with a sense of play, and excels at turning complex ideas into intuitive experiences. Working across art, advertising, installations, and product development, he builds ideas into things that actually work.
