I'm an AI policy researcher leading a project called the AGI Social Contract and currently serving as the Director of Research for Windfall.ai.

My current priority is to drastically increase the number of researchers investigating strategies to navigate the upcoming AI economic transformation.

I was formerly the AI Governance Lead for Convergence Analysis. At Convergence, I hosted a conference on AI economic impacts and have been leading thirty fellows on economic policy research.

I've also conducted research on foundational AI governance policies (e.g. chip registries & model registries) & soft nationalization.

Previously, I was the fifth software engineer and the lead of various projects at Alchemy, an Ethereum infra 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 prototyped include the augmented memory and translation features for the Android XR Glasses.

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 also started and organize a camping & music festival 🎪 now in its 6th year.
