Rahel Gunaratne Team Lead RSVP Approved

Founder at Web Indexer
Software Architecture
Hi, I'm Rahel. I'm a Software Engineering graduate with high distinction, with minors in Computer Science and Physics. My background spans AI, data science, and full stack development. Over the last two years, I've taken on a variety of software development contracts. At the City of Ottawa, I worked in data analytics, built and sold a data wrangling pipeline that saved a huge amount of time, and contributed to academic research by creating visualizations focused on equity and diversity metrics. I have also won seven AI hackathons, including ones hosted by Cohere, IBM, and AI21 Labs. Before that, I worked at an AI startup as a full stack developer from early-stage development to launch.
I love staying active with rock climbing, Spartan races, running, rec volleyball, and dodgeball. I also enjoy watching Old School RuneScape, League of Legends, Anime, British shows like Taskmaster and WILTY, the Science VS podcast, and mystery shows. On the tech side, I’m interested in machine learning, simulations, video gaming, and how generative AI can transform the gaming experience.

Daesol Jung RSVP Waitlisted

Founder at Pitch Tank
Main Developer of Next.js.
Daesol Jung is a builder obsessed with turning raw ideas into real products. He leads projects across AI, product design, and marketing, with a focus on validating startup concepts fast and guiding first-time founders from vague ambition to actionable momentum. His work spans web development, growth systems, and modular AI reasoning engines, including CTOS, a framework that breaks down complex business analysis into swappable, API-ready thinking modules.
I’m interested in modular AI systems, human-centered product design, and tools that help founders validate ideas quickly. I’m looking to connect with collaborators in AI research, no-code/low-code product development, and early-stage startup strategy to build impactful, scalable solutions together.
Currently, I’m building Startup Validator, an AI platform that evaluates startup ideas and provides actionable feedback. I’m also tinkering with a portable AI companion device, modular critical thinking engines (CTOS), and minimalist apps for mental health and daily tracking.
