Gaurav Chaulagain
Product Manager / AI Researcher
I’m Gaurav, currently pursuing my Master’s in Computer Science, and I’ve been focused on product management roles where I get to work at the intersection of user needs, technology, and experimentation. I’ve had the opportunity to work on projects across AI, consumer tools, and backend systems where I’ve led cross-functional teams, improved workflows, and shipped features that solved real user problems.
What I enjoy most is turning messy, ambiguous problems into clear solutions whether it’s refining onboarding, improving performance, or shaping features through user feedback. I’m very comfortable in fast-paced, evolving environments, and I genuinely love the early-stage energy of building something that hasn’t been done before.

Ron Sellers
Photographer
I live in Alameda and work throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. My passion is photographing sports and action of any type. My favorite sports to cover are football, rugby and basketball. I’ve covered the 2013 America’s Cup here in San Francisco, and I spend several days each year hanging out of an airplane shooting other planes performing amazing aerobatics.
I have been photographing professional sports since 2004. I have spent the last several years focusing on college athletics, as there are more local colleges and a greater variety of sports and challenges to hone my skills with. I come from graphic design, so I approach photography with a designer’s eye, creating bold and striking work.
