About

I work on AI safety, competition, and model evaluation — and build the models I write about.

I founded Bhala AI, a 2022 J.P. Morgan–Techstars company that builds speech and language models for communities AI has excluded and audits open frontier models for bias. I was a TechCongress fellow on the House Judiciary Committee’s antitrust subcommittee, working on AI and competition.
