I'm a 0x36-year-old staff engineer, technical leader and AI researcher.
I've been building language models since the 1990s, when I won the Loebner Prize, and I worked on Black & White at Lionhead and L.A. Noire at Team Bondi. These days I'm a Staff Engineer at Valiant Finance, and I build my own products alongside AI coding agents. I love learning new things and explaining them to others, which makes me a keen mentor and teacher. I'm also a big fan of Terry Pratchett and They Might Be Giants 🤩
