# about

I studied at UCLA (Stats & Econ) and Columbia (MS Analytics). I started my career founding a computer vision company using AI to improve people's exercise form.

I've since spent six years building ecosystems and partnerships in AI and crypto. Most recently I was Ecosystem Lead at Sahara AI (Sequoia-backed AI agent developer platform), and before that Ecosystem Lead at Stability AI, creators of Stable Diffusion and the leading open-source gen AI company (330M+ downloads, 36K GitHub stars).

At Stability I built Stable Founders, a community and program of 50+ AI startups I sourced and supported through their early stages.

I left Sahara to take a year off with my newborn daughter. In the past six months I've launched Lara Valentina, a DTC jewelry brand I vibe-coded end-to-end on Lovable + Supabase, and I've kept vibe-coding other projects since.
