software engineer · ml & data systems · moving into ai safety

Six years making data systems reliable. Now learning to make AI systems safe.

That work looked like quantitative dashboards at Fidelity and, before that, ML pipelines and computer-vision MVPs. These days I'm studying evaluations, robustness, and interpretability, and building my own safety-adjacent tools to learn in public.

now just submitted Ground Knowledge to the Epistack hackathon BlueDot Biosecurity + Technical AI Safety Math for ML + Deep Learning (deeplearning.ai)

AI Safety Regulation Map

solo · live

An interactive tracker of AI-safety regulation and policy news across every country and all 50 U.S. states. A news feed refreshes daily; regulation entries are curated by hand so the map stays trustworthy rather than auto-scraped.

Ground Knowledge

solo · live

A tool for contested research questions that weighs independent evidence instead of raw citation counts. It surfaces false consensus and source overlap, so twenty papers re-analysing one dataset count as one root, not twenty.

Experience

Jun 2024 — May 2026Boston, MA
Senior Software Engineer · Fidelity Investments
  • Rebuilt a legacy quantitative dashboard portal (Python, Angular, AWS) for 200+ users and 50+ concurrent, replacing a system with silent data-pull failures and no version control.
  • Re-architected deployment to decouple dashboards from the core portal, allowing R, Python, and Angular dashboards to scale without adding load to the portal.
  • Cut page load times by up to 80% and raised automated test coverage to 90%; built a shared Angular component library and migrated legacy R apps to Python + Angular.
Jan 2021 — Jun 2024Remote
Machine Learning & AI Engineer · SteppeChange
  • Built an MVP video classifier end to end with FastAPI, Streamlit, and Docker.
  • Engineered Python applications for portfolio optimization, turning heavy quantitative algorithms into maintainable code and cutting Monte Carlo runtime by 70%.
  • Designed ETL pipelines for large-scale data, improving accuracy and reliability downstream.
Sep 2021 — Jan 2023San Francisco, CA
Partnerships Data Scientist · Minerva Project
  • Ran impact analyses for global partners that shaped educational strategy for Minerva Forum users.
  • Built an internal Streamlit analytics app that cut report creation time by 50% and supported 10+ configurable visualization types; mentored interns in Python.
2020 — 2022Remote
Earlier · Tutoring & data analysis
  • Taught 30+ students Python, ML, and statistics with a full curriculum, holding a 5.0 rating.
  • As a Python data analyst at LucidMove, improved data-retrieval efficiency by 90% with optimized web-scraping and built predictive models on complex datasets.

Writing

// No posts yet. I'm starting to write up what I'm learning in the AI-safety courses and building notes on the projects. First pieces will show up here.

Open to safety- and alignment-focused roles, remote-friendly.

If you're working on evaluations, robustness, interpretability, or governance tooling and could use an engineer who ships, I'd like to hear from you.
