👋 Bio

I am developing Nudge (voice agent that helps users build habits and tackle lingering tasks) while actively exploring opportunities in AI data infrastructure, safety systems, or hard tech. Please reach out if you are building in these spaces!

👾 A few illustrative projects:

1. knightsGPT: Can a GPT-2 variant trained on millions of games learn how to solve the knight's tour puzzle? (Spoiler: yes!)
2. replicatingAlexnet: PyTorch-based replication of the classic computer vision paper, Krizhevsky et al. (2012).
3. Thermal modeling of (99942) Apophis: We used non-linear optimization and a markov chain monte carlo algorithm to constrain the physical properties of the near-Earth asteroid (99942) Apophis. Other publications here.
4. Tucson Effective Altruism: An organization I co-founded and scaled. Our improved capacity enables us to run a university course, upskilling programs, research-styled symposia, and weekly community events.
