Speaking & workshops
I talk about what it actually takes to train, build with, and trust AI, without the hype and without dumbing it down. Conferences, teams, and cohorts.
Talks I give
Each can be a 20-minute spark or a half-day deep dive. Always tuned to your audience.
What training a frontier model actually involves
RLHF, SFT, and evaluation from the inside, the unglamorous, decisive work that makes a model trustworthy.
Shipping with LLMs without getting burned
Grounding, guardrails, evals, and the failure modes that bite teams in production. Practical, not hand-wavy.
From biology to AI: precision as a discipline
What a molecular biology lab taught me about evidence, error rates, and trusting the work, and why it matters for AI.
Building safe superintelligence, one piece at a time
An optimistic, grounded talk on AI safety for builders who want to help rather than panic.
Formats
Conference talk / keynote
20–45 min, tuned to your audience.
Team workshop
Half or full day, hands-on, your stack and use cases.

Got a stage, a team, or a cohort?
