About Me

My work evolution has followed my curiosity for the impact and intersections of tech, humans, and society. Immediately prior to the last 15 years, I worked in the corporate world of commercial real estate with clients in the tech and life science industry. Then, I transitioned to consulting for startups on company culture and strategy. This led me to going deeper to understand that the tech we use and the mental health of employees impacts every facet of business. In recent years, I've explored what was once edge tech including web3 and now generative and other forms of AI.

My focus at this point is AI ethics, safety, governance and policy. I believe they are all interconnected with similar power as company culture to impact business and societies. I'm currently exploring safety and governance.

Shallow Review of AI Governance: Mapping the Technical–Policy Implementation Gap

Project update (progress + advisor confirmed)

I’ve begun the initial landscape mapping of AI governance mechanisms, focusing on where technically sound proposals break down at the institutional and implementation layer. This work is shaping a shallow-but-wide taxonomy designed for operational use, not theory alone.

Dr. Chinasa Okolo (Brookings / UN-affiliated AI governance specialist) is advising on this project in an active capacity, stress-testing the taxonomy against real policy constraints so the outputs are legible and usable by policymakers and program designers.

As additional context, I completed BlueDot Impact’s AGI Strategy course in late December, which helped refine how this work situates governance mechanisms within current alignment and deployment debates, particularly where strategic proposals fail in practice.

Why fund this now

  • Policy window: Governance decisions are outpacing the consolidation of implementation lessons.

  • Leverage: Funding accelerates synthesis, validation, and dissemination, not exploratory research.

  • Gap coverage: This targets the under-mapped implementation layer between alignment research and institutional reality.

Happy to answer questions
