I want to make the world more secure, transparent, and safe.

Currently

• I’m a Member of Technical Staff at Anthropic.
• I support human rights investigations at scale via Atlos. My work is made possible by National Geographic, the Brown Institute at Stanford, and Microsoft.
• I maintain a number of open source projects, including Shynet and a17t.

Previously

I worked on election security at CISA/DHS, privacy engineering at Apple, trust and safety at the Stanford Internet Observatory, AI policy in collaboration with OpenAI and the Cornell Tech Policy Institute, and digital infrastructure with some newsrooms.

At Stanford, I taught CS 106S (Coding for Social Good) and I co-directed the Stanford Security Clinic. I’m an alum of the Recurse Center, I had an app (but we sold the business), and I worked on cyber policy for a 2020 presidential campaign.

Broadly

My projects, research, and commentary have appeared in several outlets including the New York Times, the Washington Post, NBC News, TIME, Axios, Platformer, Foreign Affairs, Brookings TechStream, Lawfare, the Nightly News with Lester Holt, and elsewhere. I’ve also spoken at a few conferences, including DEF CON, TSRC, and RightsCon.
