I'm an AI researcher and software engineer with a focus on technical alignment research. My background spans data platforms, ML systems, 3D visualization, and computational geometry.
I have always been interested in ethical tech. I have been an avid user of free software since 2000, and have made significant contributions to large open source software projects (most of which is not apparent from my GitHub history). In the 2010s I became a strong advocate of data ethics, and have been focused on AI safety since 2023 (thanks to Rob Miles).
A novel research agenda to impose just enough structure on latent embeddings to make AI more interpretable and steerable.
Novel techniques for detecting out-of-distribution inputs in language models: a new visualization and metric.
A library and template repository to quickly spin up new AI research projects.
A slick visual timer app.
A unique game featuring innovative physics for character movement and environment interaction.
