Hi! I write at Nintil.com. Lately I’ve been thinking about emotional processing, meditation, consciousness, and longevity research.

Some topics I’ve written about: meta-science, longevity, the economics of the USSR, Bloom’s two sigma, consciousness, technological progress, and tacit knowledge.

In 2020 I dropped out of tech to study bottlenecks in aging research. That effort led to a $70M project called Rejuvenome.

In September 2022 the project was spun down and I began thinking about what to do next. I wrote some blogposts along the way.

In January 2023 I joined Retro Biosciences as Head of Theory.

In the past I’ve worked in various roles in ML, data science, and software engineering at Amey, Aiden.ai, and Twitter.
