Hi there! I’m Katie. I’m the founder of RentOui and an MBA Candidate at Harvard Business School.

I founded RentOui (RentOui.com) with the mission to make luxury fashion accessible and sustainable. RentOui is a peer-to-peer lending platform for luxury fashion currently based in Miami and New York.

I previously was a Senior Software Engineer at Etsy where I worked on the Seller Listing Process team. I was a full-stack engineer focused on front-end development and worked mostly in Typescript.

I graduated from Columbia University in 2019 where I majored in computer science with a focus in Human-Computer Interaction. Check out my research project I conducted with Professor Lydia Chilton that explores swiping interactions in various domains. I was previously president of the Girls Who Code chapter at Columbia.

I grew up in Coral Gables, Florida. In 2011, I founded Florida 501c3 Bake A Wish Cakes Miami, to which I remain an advisor and board member. We bake, decorate and deliver over 1000 birthday cakes each year to disadvantaged K-5 children in afterschool programs in Miami-Dade County.
