I write about ethics, animal welfare, and far-future scenarios from a suffering-focused perspective on my main website, "Essays On Reducing Suffering". The website you're on now is where I put the rest of my writings that are less relevant to reducing suffering.
Following is some brief biographical information.
I graduated from Swarthmore College in 2009 with a major in computer science and a minor in statistics.
From 2009 to 2013, I was a software engineer at Microsoft, working on improving the relevance of Bing's search results. In 2015 I briefly did machine-learning work with the real-estate startup FlyHomes.
In 2013, I helped to start the Foundational Research Institute (now called the Center on Long-Term Risk), a think tank that explores crucial considerations for reducing suffering in the long-run future.
