I'm a Program Officer at Coefficient Giving (formerly Open Philanthropy), where I lead our Incubation portfolio — an effort to launch grantmaking in the areas newest to us, and to incubate those areas into full programs. This currently includes cause areas like AI for global development and education in low- and middle-income countries.

Alongside that, I write about science, technology, economic development, and health for my newsletter and for outlets including The Economist, MIT Technology Review, Scientific American, and Works in Progress. I also co-hosted Ideas in Development, a VoxDev podcast series on AI and economic development.

These can look like three different jobs, but they are really one project in different formats. I am interested in how new technologies actually get deployed, and particularly in the places where they could matter most: developing economies, underfunded public health systems, the long tail of conditions that don't attract commercial investment. Grantmaking is one way to work on that question. Writing is another.

I studied ethics, politics, and economics at Yale, then spent a few years at McKinsey advising clients in the life sciences and public health before moving into philanthropy. I live in New York.
