Cristóbal Valenzuela Barrera
I'm a developer living in Brooklyn, NY. I'm the co-founder and CEO of Runway.
I was a researcher at ITP NYU Tisch School of the Arts. I've worked on open-source projects, contributed to AI research, and also made some art. I was born and raised in Chile. I'm primarily interested in building tools to augment human creativity. If that's interesting, join us. We are hiring.
