Résumé

Summary

I write about ethics, animal advocacy, and far-future scenarios from a suffering-focused perspective on the website Essays on Reducing Suffering. I cofounded and advise the Foundational Research Institute (now called the Center on Long-Term Risk), a think tank that explores crucial considerations for reducing suffering in the long-run future. Previously, I worked at Microsoft and FlyHomes as a data scientist. I studied computer science, mathematics, and statistics at Swarthmore College.
