Research Engineer & Technical Founder
Hi 👋,
I’m a Member of Technical Staff at the UK AI Security Institute, where I work on frontier-model evaluation and research engineering. My research includes Phantom Transfer (NeurIPS 2026) and SandboxEscapeBench (ICML 2026 Spotlight).
My work spans AI safety research, model training and evaluation, distributed infrastructure, and early-stage AI products. Previously, I built production systems at Confluent and co-founded an applied-AI company through Entrepreneurs First.
