I'm a 20 something AI Founder based out of San Francisco, California. I like to break (oops, I mean build) things in my free time! My recent rabbit-holes include AI video generation and AI agents.

I am building Lunaris to help creators generate viral social media content using AI. Most recently, I did ODF22 beondeck and buildspace n&w s5 cohorts. Also, currently a part of The SF Commons community. Come say hi 👋
