As a physicist and software engineer from California, I work on quantum foundations and explore the intersection of science, computation, and philosophy. Fundamental questions about reality and building formal, computational frameworks are at the core of my work. On the other side, I work in cryptography and in building more efficient, reliable systems. I am especially interested in how machine learning and AI intersect with all these fields and science as a whole, both as tools for discovery, practical use, and as subjects of deeper theoretical study as either of the fields continue to influence one another. Overall, my work brings foundational questions about reality together with formal and computational systems, examining how physics, mathematics, philosophy, cryptography, AI, and the broader sciences can shape and advance one another.

My schools of thought that I incline toward are critical rationalism, scientific realism, and skepticism. That said, I value philosophical exploration with open-ended curiosity, and I believe that ideas should always be explored and tested. One of our major aims for humanity should be to deepen general understanding while also providing tools that help create a more informed, safe, and constructive world.
