🐐 Hey — I’m Alex

Research Engineer @ Epic Games | (Ex-PhD) Mechanistic Interpretability Researcher

Hi, I'm Alex 👋

I just finished my PhD, reverse-engineering neural networks to understand what how they think, so we can try to stop them from thinking bad things. Currently shipping production LLM systems alongside research.

🔭 What I’m up to

  • Working at Epic Games on Agentic AI (LLMs) to empower creators in the metaverse
  • Doing Research on technical alignment - see my scholar page.
  • Working as a research-engineering intern at Epic Games — scaling & fine-tuning LLMs for creative tools.
  • Procrastinating with Side projects:
