Technical AI Safety AI Automation Claude Code Power User

I'm a fast-moving, high-autonomy generalist obsessed with automating and optimizing workflows with AI.

AI is probably going to kill us all (~70%). I've dedicated my career to changing those odds and am exploring how AI itself can accelerate alignment.

Broke My Claude Code Usage Record πŸ€–

Spent $6,776.74 in Claude API credits this week alone. So far I've built an entire ecosystem of developer tools around Claude Code: a production session manager (Open Cockpit), 3 CLIs, 5 plugins with a custom marketplace, and a fully automated AI podcast pipeline.

Working as a Software and AI Agent Engineer at Griffin Labs

Griffin Labs is a Biotech/AI startup with the mission to accelerate scientific research towards solving human diseases, specifically focusing on Alzheimer's. As part of my role, I am building an autonomous agent that constructs self-updating causal graphs of biological interactions by analyzing thousands of scientific papers (check it out in the video!).

COO at Zelar-City

In the last three months, I helped to organize a longevity pop-up city in Berlin. We had people from all over the world living together and on our weekend summits we had speakers like Aubrey de Grey and George Church.

Decided to focus on longevity (later superseded)

After having spent a lot of time thinking about the meaning of life, philosophy, and what to do, I decided on a practical goal: "Making aging and death optional." Since superseded by AI safety. If we don't get that right, longevity doesn't matter.

Started the Rational Optimization podcast

Today, I uploaded the first episode of my new podcast. I decided to call it Rational Optimization and I want to use it to explore the question: "What is, all things considered, the most rational thing to do?" You can also listen to it on Spotify.

5000km Cycling 🚴

After finishing high school, I decided to travelβ€”so I took my bike and cycled to the northernmost point of Europe. Every evening, I knocked on a stranger's door to ask for a place to sleep, and every night I got one!
