About

Hi, my name is Noah. I do Applied AI Consulting for ambitious, high-stakes startups. Before that I was Technical Director of the Deployment Engineering team at Norm Ai, before that I did independent research on Human-Computer Interaction between internet users and AI, and before that I worked at Palantir. I don't keep public social media accounts due to general privacy concerns, but I promise I'm a real person.

My general goal with my work is to critically engage with the psychological relationship between humans and computers. I believe computers, despite their many merits and wonders, inflict wide-scale affective damage on people today. I believe this is far from inevitable.

As computers become increasingly dominant in our society, critical engagement with computing must not be limited to a purely technical lens. The technology of modern computing both shapes and is shaped by the political economy and legal realism of our times. That is why I am enthusiastic about my current work advising startups on how to navigate our current moment to achieve not just the best business outcomes, but also the best social outcomes for the technology they are deploying.

Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or criticisms of my ideas or writings, or writing/ideas of your own. I always enjoy getting messages, and almost always reply.
