00 / Profile

I turn early ideas into products people can actually use.

I'm Yaro, a computer science student and founder working at the intersection of artificial intelligence, product engineering, and design.

I care about the full journey: finding the right problem, shaping the experience, creating the system, and learning from what ships.

06 / Process

How I
Create.

I start with a question, give the idea a shape, and turn it into something people can use. The tools support the thinking.

  1. Problem

    Start with the real workflow, constraint, and person the product should help.

    Observation first

  2. Product

    Turn the problem into a focused product direction and a testable scope.

  3. Design

    Shape the interface, information hierarchy, and interaction model before polishing it.

  4. AI-Assisted Engineering

    Use AI coding systems for architecture exploration, implementation, debugging, and iteration while retaining product and technical judgment.

  5. APIs + Data

    Connect model providers, application logic, structured outputs, authentication, and data systems.

07 / Now

Still learning.
Already creating.

Studying computer science in Oregon, United States—while creating products beyond the classroom.

I'm drawn to small teams, difficult problems, and people who care deeply about the details.
