Frontier AI Diplomacy

Co-founder of the Simon Institute for Longterm Governance. We help the US and China communicate more productively on AI governance, work with the UN and OECD, and try to ensure frontier AI development goes well for everyone.

Started with biosecurity at the Biological Weapons Convention. Pivoted to AI when we realized that's where the leverage was. Now a team of ~10, CHF 5M+ raised, operating at the intersection of technical AI safety and international policy.

FractalGVA

Infrastructure for tinkerers, builders, explorers, thinkers, and artists. A physical space at Route de Malagnou 37 in Geneva’s Eaux-Vives neighborhood—part workshop, part living room, part launchpad.

Fractal University, codeathons, weekly open events, castle weekends. The programming keeps evolving but the intent stays the same: create density of interesting people and see what happens.

All my life I’ve been seeking likeminded people. FractalGVA is me finally building the place I wanted to find.

Music

I DJ. Acid techno, hip-hop, whatever moves. There's something about building tension and release on a dancefloor that feels like the purest form of coordination.

Writing

I primarily write to improve my mental clarity. Topics: coordination problems, existential hope, social norms, and the occasional cultural hot take. 200+ drafts in the queue. Working on it.
