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 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.
I’m particularly interested in technically difficult problems that require moving between research, engineering, and product development.
