I'm reviving the community after a covid-caused hiatus. First event in three years is coming soon!

Alpaca →
employment

I've joined this fun startup to develop image generation capabilities for artists and video game creators. I'll be working across the whole stack to build cool products with generative AI. It's a noisy world, and there are many companies loudly building in our space; Alpaca's approach at the moment is to improve existing workflows by adding AI powers to the tools that artists already use.

I've been casually exploring a wide range of ML products, mainly out of curiosity, although — naturally — the dream is to do like Demis Hassabis some day. For now I'm learning as much as I can, by reimplementing and playing with different architectures. I also own the domain names: label.ai, paperclips.ai, and forwardforward.ai.

Minds Almost Meeting →
volunteer

I'm the tech person for Agnes Callard and Robin Hanson's podcast. We've released five seasons so far. I designed the branding and cover art, built the site, and even composed a musical bumper or two. I'm in charge of processing the audios and publishing new episodes.
