Effective
Altruism
I want the hours I spend building software to buy as much good as they possibly can. That is the whole idea — and it is why I'm pointing my career at the highest-impact work I can reach.
I care most about global health and development. My work has already lived in that world — sleep, eating habits, mental health — and improving people's lives through their health feels like the most meaningful and important pursuit I know.
The power of AI, in the palm of an EA hand.
A single engineer with modern AI tools can now do the work of a small team. In a well-run NGO, that leverage doesn't go to a bigger valuation — it goes to more people reached, more suffering prevented, more good done per dollar. That multiplier is what I want to put to work.
How I think about impact
Scale & neglectedness
The best problems are large, solvable, and under-resourced. I'd rather ship a plain tool that removes a real bottleneck than a polished one that doesn't matter.
Evidence over instinct
I've moved products by watching real user metrics — NPS from −10 to 40, accuracy up 10%. I trust measurement, and I build so impact can be measured.
Do more with less
Cutting a $700/month cost to $20 isn't just tidy engineering — for a mission-driven org, every saved dollar is a dollar that reaches someone. Frugality is a form of impact.
What I'm looking for
A team — NGO, foundation, or high-impact startup — working seriously on global health and development, where a full-stack engineer who ships fast and thinks about outcomes can multiply what a small, dedicated group is already trying to do.
