Bio
CEO of Fathom Computing, a startup building optics-based computing hardware aiming at beneficial AGI. I do fundraising, recruiting, long-term strategy, especially related to AI safety, culture (I set our company up as a public benefit corporation), as well as lead some of the technical areas, especially multicore fiber. Current top cause area interest: AI safety, longtermism, cause prioritization, and I'm working on a utility equation mostly from a computational perspective.
EA focusmate is awesome, and still active (March 2024)! I use it maybe a couple hours a day on average to get through important but non-urgent tasks, tasks that are hard to start, or anything I've procrastinated on. I love being connected with others in the EA community preferentially, and just having a couple minute discussion of what their working on and what I'm working on is really motivating. Also I've hired 3 people that I met through EA focusmate, and would not have met them otherwise, so also great for networking. Happy focusmating!
