I'm currently an AI policy researcher at Convergence Analysis leading the Governance Program.

Right now, I'm one of only a few researchers in the world concentrating on economic governance strategies to navigate the upcoming AGI economic transformation. My goal is to drastically increase this number and grow this domain of research.

I've previously hosted a conference on AI economic impacts, and conducted research on foundational AI governance policies (e.g. chip registries & model registries), & soft nationalization scenarios.

Before Convergence, I was the fifth software engineer and the lead of various projects at Alchemy, an Ethereum infrastructure startup now valued at $10.2 billion. At Alchemy, I created web3.university, a learning platform with over 200k students.

From 2015 - 2018, I was a rapid prototyping researcher at Google's Interaction Lab, where I led software & UX explorations for a next-gen Google Glass. Projects I created included augmented memory tooling and subtle head gestures.

At Google, I also invented and built the first "Babelfish" real-time translation feature for wireless earbuds, launched in 2017 on the original Pixel Buds.

Outside of work, I'm into surfing 🏄‍♂️, community living 🏘️, and music production 🎹. I started and organize a camping & music festival 🎪 now in its 6th year.
