I live in London with our CFO/sentient teddy bear, Biscuits.
Now

Past
80,000 Hours: I spent the better part of 5 years at 80,000 Hours (80k), a non-profit that provides free online research and personalised career advice to talented undergraduates and recent graduates. Until I left in early 2021, I set up some core programs like 1-1 advising and the job board, and some now-defunct programs like workshops.
Alameda Research: In the middle of my time at 80k, I left to help set up and run the operations for a startup quant trading firm, Alameda Research. I re-joined 80k in 2018.
Effective Altruism Australia: When I was in medical school in Australia I co-founded a non-profit, Effective Altruism Australia, that has raised $10M+ for effective charities helping the global poor.
Conceptually: On a lark, I created a website, Conceptually, that introduces important concepts for understanding the world in a free weekly email. The website has now been read by over half a million people – or, at least, that many bots pretending to be people.
