Techo Whimzy: AI Experiments with Safinaz Elhadary

AI was supposed to bring back the joy of building. The same joy many of us remember from the early internet - tweaking GeoCities pages, experimenting with layouts, spending hours building websites just because we could. But somewhere along the way, building online stopped feeling playful. With AI, instead of curiosity, there’s often pressure, noise, and a lot of fear about doing it “right.” Our next speaker is here to fix that and break back that “maker” energy. Meet Safinaz Elhadry. AI builder and technical solutions leade Safinaz didn’t take the traditional path into tech - she started experimenting with AI tools out of curiosity and fun, and quickly became known for building polished products, demos and workflows. Today, she’s the winner of the Gemini x Cerebral Valley Vibe Coding Hackathon, a V0 Ambassador, and someone many builders follow for practical, hands-on AI workflows that feel approachable rather than overly technical. Her tutorials and experiments have reached more than 500K viewers online. Come join us at Founders Cafe in San Francisco (or online), to learn about her process and see her breakdown her thinking and tech stack. See some of y’all there!
