Digital innovator

ST. Louis, MO

My name is Sonali "Luna" Priya. I have a deep passion for designing and developing apps, websites, software, etc. I was born in India and studied Computer Science in the US. I currently reside in the beautiful city of St. Louis, Missouri. I specialize in blending art and technology to craft experiences that feel fresh, functional, and impactful. My journey has led me to work on a variety of projects, from software and mobile applications to websites and game design. I'm always exploring new tools, frameworks, and programming languages to push my skills further and bring ideas to life.

While I love working with both design and code, I also thrive in the world of gaming, where I play everything from MMORPGs to survival games and RTS. Gaming is more than just a hobby; it’s a space where creativity meets technology, offering endless opportunities to learn, play, and experience new worlds.

When I’m not behind a screen, you’ll find me outside. As a nature nomad and alpine explorer, I’m always seeking adventure in the great outdoors. The mountains are my playground, where I chase new summits and draw inspiration from the landscapes around me.

I’m always looking to collaborate with like-minded people who share my passion for innovation and exploration, both in technology and in life.
