Last updated: September 7, 2025

This is a now page. It’s a snapshot of what I’m up to at this point in my life.

Current Focus

  • Working at Catalyze Impact to help founders build new products and start new research organisations addressing critical AI Safety challenges.
  • Spending the last bit of the summer in Edinburgh before going to EAGxBerlin and EAG New York in October.
  • Composing a podcast theme song.
  • “Finishing” my To Do list.

Reading

Preciously few books these days as I spent most of my time keeping up with AI Safety news.

  • “In Onze Tijd” by Tim Fransen
  • A book of Somerset Folk Tales
