interested in interesting things

I'm a Privacy Engineer at Google. I'm also interested in learning more about AI privacy & security and understanding model awareness & alignment in general.

Currently trying to answer these questions:

• Does the model really know it is a model?
• What is the understanding of the model about itself?
• Are the model's answers about “escaping” real or inspired from human text?
• What are better questions to think about?

Experience

• Google: helping build privacy-preserving Ads systems
• Enkrypt AI: built LLM guardrails and internal benchmarks
• Skyflow: 2× intern, secure enclave and transient data
• IBM: intern, secrets vault development

• I enjoy playing chess (≈1900 bullet, ≈1700 blitz and have fun playing the Scandinavian Defense sometimes :))
• I'm also interested in philosophy, especially Stoicism.
• Building blindfoldchess.ai to train.
