Writing about experiments and ideas.

I like learning math.

I like improving at my software skills and understanding how systems work. It’s empowering to be able to build tools.

Opinions on software development, learning, and building things.

• Meditation, Clowning, Burning Man, other adventures…
  
• Music I’m making or listening to
  
• Tools I like
  

I obtained my math PhD Dec 2021 at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, advised by Jordan Ellenberg.

Here is a catalogue of the research I was involved in during graduate school.

Jan 2018 - August 2019 I was a visitor in Justin Solomon’s lab at MIT/CSAIL. I worked with him and
Daryl DeFord to analyze statistical techniques being used to evaluate gerrymandering.

After graduate school I worked as a data scientist at Two Sigma for several years.

Now I am doing AI safety research as an Anthropic fellow, mostly focusing on AI Control and monitoring but with some interpy side projects.
