Hi, and welcome!

With some friends at Panoramic Hill
With some friends at Panoramic Hill, Berkeley, CA!

I'm Darius, a student at the University of Maryland, and previously a research engineer at Cartesia.

I'm interested in building and governing AI systems that are safe, interpretable, and advancing public good. Lately, I've been exploring the intersection of technical AI research and policy—especially how we can use interpretability to improve institutional decision-making and reduce long-term risks.

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.
