I work at the intersection of AI, geopolitics, and UK policy. Previously founded and ran a company which analysed foreign policy, read over a million times in 140 countries.

FORWARD DEPLOYED VAGABOND

I have spent my life on the periphery of societies, cultures and groups. I don't live in the same country I was born in and don't sound like I'm from where I am.

Currently on a career break to go deeper on biosecurity, my work tends to examine how emerging technologies, capital, and power reshape the geopolitical tectonics: particularly the UK's place between the US, Europe, China, and other rising nations. To this end, I focus on moving complex ideas through opaque systems.

I mostly spend my time reading, writing, and talking to people about technologies, foreign policy, trade, and odd projects I'm working on for fun.

Incentives Rule Everything Around Me.
