Right now, I’m making evaluations to understand the risks of frontier LLMs at OpenAI. Broadly, I’m interested in improving safety culture in AI, understanding what regulation looks like in times of change, and figuring out how to properly, maximally appreciate life.

Previously, I cofounded Chord (Neo ‘22) and was a student at Stanford. Right now, I live in San Francisco, which is a flawed and beautiful city that needs more sunlight. In my spare time, I like to read, write, and photo.

You might want to see my projects or tweets. If you have cool thoughts, know the fundamental causes of the 1970s Great Stagnation, or just want to reach out, don’t hesitate to contact me through e-mail or videophone.
