Currently an independent AI Safety researcher. Ex software developer, ex QA.

Prior to working in industry was involved with academic research of cognitive architectures (the old ones). I'm a generalist with a focus on human-like AIs (know a couple of things about developmental psychology, cognitive science, ethology, computational models of the mind).

Personal research vectors: ontogenetic curriculum and the narrative theory. The primary theme is consolidating insights from various mind related areas into plausible explanation of human value dynamics.

A long-time lesswronger (~8 years). Mostly been active in the local LW community (as a consumer and as an org).

Recently I've organised a sort peer-to-peer accelerator for anyone who wants to become AI Safety researcher. Right now there are 17 of us.

Was a part of AI Safety Camp 2023 (Positive Attractors team).
