π― My Missionβ
I believe that the ability to communicate effectively with AI will be one of the most crucial skills of the 21st century. My mission is to democratize this superpower and give everyone the tools to harness the full potential of Large Language Models.
My career, from academic research in Natural Language Processing to building state-of-the-art AI systems in the industry, has been driven by a singular passion: to demystify the complex art of human-AI interaction.
The world of Large Language Models can seem like a black box, governed by arcane rules and unpredictable behavior. My mission is to give you the map and the compass. I want to teach you not just how to write a prompt, but how to think like a prompt engineer.

π Professional Journeyβ
π Academic Excellenceβ
My fascination with language and computation began during my undergraduate studies in linguistics at MIT, where I graduated summa cum laude with a focus on psycholinguistics. I was captivated by the elegant structures that underpin human language and dreamed of a future where we could have natural, meaningful conversations with computers.
This passion led me to Stanford University, where I earned my Ph.D. in Computational Linguistics under the guidance of renowned AI researchers. My dissertation, "Emergent Reasoning in Large Language Models: A Prompt-Based Approach to Controllable AI Behavior," became one of the most-cited works in the field with over 5,000 citations.
π Industry Leadershipβ
After completing my Ph.D., I joined the forefront of the AI industry, leading breakthrough research at:
-
NeuralGen Labs (2019-2021): Principal Research Scientist
- Led the team that developed advanced instruction-following capabilities
- Pioneered safety research in prompt engineering and AI alignment
-
Cognitive Dynamics (2021-2023): Senior Research Scientist
- Developed novel approaches to multimodal AI communication
- Co-authored the seminal paper on "Constitutional AI" methods
-
Alignment Research Institute (2023-Present): AI Safety Research Lead
- Leading research on AI safety through prompt engineering
- Developing next-generation human-AI interaction paradigms
π Entrepreneurial Venturesβ
In 2023, I co-founded PromptLab, an AI consulting firm that has helped over 200 Fortune 500 companies optimize their AI implementations. Our clients have seen an average 300% improvement in AI system performance through advanced prompt engineering techniques.
