About me

Hi, I'm Matthew! I'm a software engineer who builds AI systems and the evaluations that check whether they actually work. I split my time between the Bay Area and Atlanta. I love being outside, good wordplay, and taking pictures of beautiful things and places. I love a good rabbit hole as well, particularly around biology or Greek mythology.

Selected projects

• Wildfire situational awarenessLeading development of an AI platform that gives wildfire responders a clearer, real-time picture of an active fire, using reinforcement learning and computer vision.
• Induced seismicity from wastewater disposalBuilt ML models predicting the risk of induced seismic activity from saltwater disposal wells near fracking operations, working from messy field data alongside geoscientists at Stanford.
• RetallyUsing code generation to automatically reproduce the analyses in academic papers and check whether their claims hold up.
• LostfishAn experiment in adversarial chess AI: an engine that tricks other engines into positions they misjudge.

Things I'm into

• AI safety
• Biology & the natural sciences
• Running
• Photography
• Reading
• Poetry
• Prestige TV
• Cryptic crosswords
