AI Engineer & Founder
I build AI systems and study how technology reshapes power and institutions.
I'm interested in how technology reshapes our relationship to power, to each other, and to ourselves.
I build systems that apply AI to problems of governance.
I explore these questions through Hacking State, a podcast and newsletter where I interview founders, researchers, artists, and thinkers about technology, power, and society.
