About
Research engineer building safe and aligned AI agents.
I'm an AI Engineer, upskilling in AI safety research and engineering to work on agent alignment and technical AI policy and governance.
I bring 2+ years of AI-native software development and AI engineering, along with an LLB (Hons), Law, to bridge the gap between policy and implementation.
My current focus is legal technical alignment — translating policy recommendations into concrete technical implementations, and contributing to recommendations grounded in technical realities.
