Using my curiosity about how the world works to help solve its biggest problems.
I love learning about how the universe works — from astrophysics to philosophy and everything in between. I am passionate about using technology and creativity to solve the world's biggest problems, including AI safety and policy. I have many other creative pursuits including writing and photography.
Designing measurement frameworks for tracking global technology and human progress — gate-based scoring, evidence-admission standards, and versioned registries so every number traces to a source.
Working on the AI transition — economic and educational. I lead research on AI transition financing (how institutions fund retraining and cushion communities exposed to AI-driven displacement) and built a production AI research agent that turns CGE economic models into policy reports. Also: AI integration in UCLA courses, government advisory support, conference planning, and research on AI representation and access for minority communities.
