I work on model behavior and model personalization in OpenAI's research division.

I am focused on solving hard problems that make our models better for people. I work on things like how we personalize our models, and improving capabilities for long-horizon, unverifiable tasks like advice giving. I also work on model creative expression, currently focused on writing.

I've spent most of my career and academic efforts focused on innovation and governance suited to our era: one in which increasing globalization and the highest rate of migration in human history are coupled with new technologies that tug at our individual and social fabric. I hope to help it fortify, not fray.

I like to locate my thinking between systems and individual structures so that short term bets cohere with long term objectives. I believe strongly in multidisciplinarianism. I've led full x-fctl teams to build loved experiences from 0-1 and at-scale across apps, marketplaces, hardware and operating systems at Google and LinkedIn.

At Yale I researched extremism and theories of self and State through dual B.A. in comparative literature and global affairs, with an emphasis on international security.

Prior to working in technology, I was a rotational associate at D.E. Shaw where I focused on systemic risk, macro investing, and online CS coursework with MIT.

I grew up in Missoula, Montana, which shaped my perspective on community and connection to place.

I speak Arabic, Spanish, French, and some Japanese.

This website intends to be a playground of visual work, writing, and emergent shared experiences. It is discovery based, encouraging exploration, while hopefully still comfortable to saunter around.
