About Me
I'm an AI researcher, engineer, and founder. I've spent the last decade engineering frontier AI systems (computer use, reasoning, verification) and working at the intersection of AI and national security. I'm the co-founder of a stealth AI lab.
My past work includes one of the first AI systems capable of general computer control (NeurIPS 2023 Spotlight), methods for scaling test-time compute to improve LLMs without additional training, with Harvard (CoLM 2025), train-time RL algorithms for reasoning during pretraining before OpenAI's o1, with Oxford (NeurIPS 2024), novel brain-inspired neural network architectures with the University of Waterloo, creating the entire ML infrastructure stack for a leading surgical navigation company, and designing AI simulations of cities for the defense sector. Outside of research and engineering, I enjoy writing low-level systems in C/C++ like operating systems, 3D rendering engines, and game engines.
I first fell in love with AI because it was the bridge between both of my passions: the brain and technology. I believe we are living through the most consequential moment in human history — the transition to a world shared with superintelligent machines. Getting this right is the greatest opportunity of our generation. I've spoken at conferences around the world to help others grapple with what's coming, and everything I do is in service of ensuring humanity emerges from this transition safer, freer, and more capable than before.
My objective is to build safe superintelligence and help humanity reach a new evolutionary step. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to chat.
