Hey there :)

I co-founded TAISI, where I work on getting the Toronto–Waterloo corridor to transition to AI safety. I recently wrapped up several 4-day AI safety bootcamps which I ran with Julian.

I’m interested in macro strategy and field-building to increase the odds of a flourishing future. If this sounds like something you’re working on, I can probably help.

I’m also studying economics and math at the University of Toronto, where I heavily deprioritize coursework to focus on impactful things.
