I’m Raina, a CS student building innovative AI tools and iOS experiences.

I care about using technology to make complex systems feel simple and human. Right now I’m studying Computer Science at San José State University and exploring how AI, product thinking, and mobile development can come together to solve real problems.

About Me

I’m a CS student interested in where AI, regulation, and real people’s lives meet: how to build tools that are genuinely useful, trustworthy, and thoughtful about the systems they plug into.

  • Designing AI systems that make complex, regulated workflows feel intuitive and humane for the people using them.
  • Thinking about how products balance “what’s allowed”, “what’s actually helpful”, and “what keeps trust over the long term”.
  • Curious about tools that surface risk early so teams can make better choices, not just avoid headlines.
