about me

Hi! I'm Addie. I'm currently working at RunRL, figuring out all of the tricks to make RL on LLMs work. I'm passionate about AI safety and making AI go well.

I've also recently been enjoying running in golden gate park. I finally tried pre-run caffiene and it's great! Also, reading SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome by Mary Beard.

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

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