About Me

Currently: Founder of Aethra Labs - we provide evaluations, red teaming and runtime monitoring services to AI labs and companies deploying AI products.

Our runtime monitoring approach leverages eBPF and system level observability techniques, and applies this to the problem of tamper-proof agent runtime monitoring - we're the only runtime monitoring approach that can monitor agents without access to the source code, and are zero-code deployment.

Previously:

• Founder: co-founded a red teaming company with Pliny the Liberator. I built out and hired the early team, and ran the first red teaming engagements with AI labs and various companies.
• Research TPM: in AI safety research, where I led the development of datasets for safety evals and helped orchestrate/support research teams to meet tight deadlines.
• Strategy & investing: in a past life, I was a strategy consultant at McKinsey and growth investor at a $6B fund.
