Hi! I'm Darius, and I care about building AI systems that advance public good. Recently I've been exploring AI tools for democratic thought and collaboration. Previously, I was a research engineer at Cartesia, where I trained audio models.

I currently live in San Francisco, where I enjoy strolling past Victorian homes I wish I lived in, frequenting late-night, cash-only taquerias in the Mission, and watching dreamlike noir films at the Roxie.
