Hi there!
I'm currently making clinical LLMs safer at Fault Line AI and in the process of unfolding.
I previously worked at a neurotech startup tackling depression, an Australian VC firm, and on research related to LLM evals, computational neuroscience, and behavioural psychology.
I studied medicine, software development, and neuroscience at the University of Sydney.
