René Velarde.
I research. I create. I communicate.
I explore how we live with one another—
through scholarship, art, and the tools we build.
I help theological and mission-driven organizations communicate their work, build learning experiences, and coordinate the people and projects behind them. My work brings together editorial judgment, teaching, digital content, and thoughtful use of AI.
I’m open to project management and communications or marketing roles with mission-driven teams. See my experience

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. Alongside the experiments, I’m shaping part-time technology advising for mission-driven teams that need a clearer next decision.
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.
