One voyage, many horizons.

I'm David.

I believe we're on this world to add to it; be it positive or negative, is measured by our own definitions (evals). I enjoy building and research. Areas I'm well versed in include NLP and AI safety, but more than that, I love seeing my work translate into functional, usable solutions.
