👋 Hey, I'm Taylor—proptech founder, landlord, and renter (yes, both). I'm building Clara on a mission to bring transparency to renting.

 I currently rent (I've rented 10+ properties across 4 states) and self-manage my own investment properties, so I've lived the friction of the application process on both sides. That dual perspective showed me the same frustrations everywhere—renters sharing sensitive information over unsecured emails, landlords piecing together verification from multiple platforms, and nobody knowing what's really happening with their data. Clara solves this: a digital rental application and screening platform where renters control what they share, landlords get verified information in one place, and transparency isn't negotiable. No opaque algorithms, no surprises, just clarity.

My background spans tech and real estate, and honestly, every "detour" was preparation for this. Outside of Clara, I'm happiest with my headphones on or at a concert 🎶 (blame my parents—they named me after James Taylor and handed me a violin at age 3).
