I'm a sophomore at Brown studying Applied Math–CS and Economics. I build AI systems, and I try to break them.
I think superintelligence is a real risk, and that a lot of the safety work will look like engineering: evaluations, monitoring, security. That's the work I want to do.
Most of what I've built so far is for Brown Football. Atlas Recruit is the recruiting platform the coaching staff opens every day: it maps ten years of Ivy League and FCS players, syncs their recruiting board every morning, and puts a Claude assistant on top of all of it.
Edel AI is the staff's AI analyst, a Claude agent running on its own server over nearly a million college football plays. Coaches ask about an opponent, and it writes the queries, builds the scouting report, and remembers what each staff cares about.
On the safety side, I help run the Brown AI Safety Team, where I lead our weekly member meetings.
Lately I've been testing small AI judgment models: what they assume about people (134,772 questions so far), and what happens when thousands of them interact. On one simulated frozen island, evolution produced bear-sized, pale, insulated seal-hunters in every run.
I'm also building memory systems for teams of AI agents: how they share what they know without leaking what they shouldn't.
Piano (Led Zeppelin, the 80s), cooking, and winter hikes in the White Mountains. I bouldered V9 at my peak. I'm Ethiopian, Sephardic and Mizrahi, and I do the Four Questions in Arabic.
