## Work Experience
### Co-Founder @ Lungo
Jan 2025 – Present | San Francisco, CA
Building housemate discovery for shared housing. Designed to filter low-quality inquiries and surface qualified prospects before tours. Focused on tenant screening and early qualification. Informed by operating long-term SFR leasing and short-term shared housing.

### Real Estate Investment and Management @ Sole Proprietorship
Jan 2023 – Present | California, United States
Operating two rental models: long-term single-family lease and short-term shared housing. Manage tenant sourcing, screening, and day-to-day operations end-to-end. Direct exposure to inquiry quality gaps, screening inefficiencies, and vacancy risk shaping current product direction.

### Co-Founder @ Around The Corner
