About

I'm a researcher in human and artificial intelligence, interested in how we describe systems that think and feel.

My background is in cognitive and computational linguistics + the philosophy of mind and language.

My work is broadly critical of attempts to reduce biological intelligence to data processing.

Consulting

Since 2019, I've worked in private industry on problems like AI alignment and knowledge representation.

I offer consulting services to startups that need help building bridges between tech stack and product strategy.

I'm available in London and Cambridge, UK. Let's talk about working together.

Writing

I'm currently drafting a book on pseudoscience in the AI industry.

I write Culture and Anarchy, a newsletter about human progress viewed through the lenses of naturalism, pragmatism and Daoism.

I've also published academic work on the biological origins of language.
