Working through the hardest problems in politics, technology, and global risk, with philosophical breadth and technical granularity.
Philosopher, consultant, and public speaker. A decade of applied work at the intersection of ethics, politics, AI, and global catastrophic risk.
I am a philosopher of technology and ethics with a decade of experience bringing rigorous, structured philosophical thinking to bear on the hardest problems in politics, technology, and public life.
I have advised campaigns for state governors, United States Senate seats, and state legislative campaigns on policy and messaging; developed ethics training deployed to C-level executives at Fortune 500 companies; and lectured at Yale, Vassar, Virginia Tech, and institutions across the United States and Europe.
My current work focuses on the governance, policy, and philosophical dimensions of artificial intelligence and global catastrophic risk, and on the people carrying the existential and psychological burdens that arise from working at this frontier.

Scholarship and public writing spanning AI safety, technology ethics, and policy.
My consulting work is grounded in years of rigorous training in systems thinking and deep expertise at the intersection of technology, policy, and human values. That combination is rare — and essential for organizations doing something radically new, where there isn't a trusted playbook.
The people working at the frontier of artificial intelligence, biosecurity, climate risk, and other domains of global catastrophic risk face a set of burdens that most professional support structures are not designed to address. The philosophical, existential, and psychological weight of this work — questions of responsibility, meaning, complicity, and consequence — requires a different kind of thinking partner. I offer one-on-one and small-group philosophical consulting specifically for professionals carrying those burdens with dignity, and even joy.

Political organizations also face a knowledge challenge: the issues that matter most to voters — AI governance, technology policy, national security, and the health of democracy itself — are complex and difficult to message. I bridge that gap by helping campaigns understand the issues deeply enough to craft compelling policies, then finding the language that makes those policies resonate.
"The hardest problems don't announce themselves as philosophical. They arrive as business decisions, policy choices, or moments of personal crisis. I help people see them clearly, and act accordingly."
The weight is real, and it deserves more than a compliance framework or a wellness program. I bring to it the same systematic rigor I apply to everything else, alongside a genuine capacity for the kind of structured, personal philosophical guidance that helps people think and live well in the face of what confronts them.
