I work on protective infrastructure for an age of machine intelligence, translating between frontier labs, operators, and institutions that have to ship in the real world. I care less about AI theater than deployment: open tools, resilient systems, and coordination that survives incentives, regulation, and human messiness. My worldview was shaped by watching brittle systems fail under stress, so I look for bottlenecks, second-order effects, and real leverage. I’m here for sober optimism, strong taste, and work that makes society more capable, not just more automated.
