about me

Hi! I'm Addie. I'm an ML Research Engineer at Workshop Labs. We're aiming to prevent gradual disempowerment from AI. I'm having a lot of fun training models and optimizing things.

I'm visiting London now, but looking forward to returning to SF after NeurIPS. (Also, looking forward to attending my first ML conference!) I finally got a climbing pass and am actually using it. I'm gonna try to go to the castle with a climbing wall sometime soon.

Here's a non-comprehensive list of other things I like:

  • running
  • cooking
  • PID controllers
  • talking to uber drivers
  • board games with less than 8 people
  • NYT connections
  • hiking
  • being opportunistic
