SCHOLAR. BUILDER. ARTIST.
René Velarde.
I research. I create. I communicate.
I explore how we live with one another—
through scholarship, art, and the tools we build.
01 / QUESTIONS WORTH STAYING WITH
What helps us flourish?
I’m a PhD candidate in Theological Ethics at Fuller Seminary, exploring AI, trauma, and human flourishing.
My research02 / IDEAS THAT BECOME USEFUL
I think through what I make.
I founded Luminosa AI to connect research, software development, and consulting. Conversations with people who see AI from different perspectives help me question assumptions and bring ideas into practice.
03 / MAKING ROOM FOR THE SOUL
Some things need another language.
I write and make music to give form to experience—and to share what is difficult to say about faith, identity, and being human.
