It's time to build community infrastructure for AI safety.
Trilingual lawyer. Background in crisis response, policy, criminal litigation, and cognitive science. The through-line: I build and sustain communities. I've been circling around AI safety for five years. Now, I'm looking for roles in AI governance, x-risk research, and digital minds. Let's get to work.
What makes me different.
Four competencies, one mind.

Timeline
2025 — 2026École du Barreau du QuébecBar admission expected 2026
I spent eighteen months of overnight crisis counselling. That's 1.5 years of mapping a threat model, weighing possible interventions, and tailoring my responses to the person on the line. By the end, safety planning wasn't a thought. It was a reflex; it still is.

Threat-model-dependent alignment, governance, and offense/defense balance is safety planning. Same strategy, same logic as crisis response — applied to artificial intelligence under a policy arm instead of a personal one.
Built & sustained.

Where I'm headed.
Visa-eligible, willing to relocate, available immediately; happy to start remote. Now, I'm looking for roles in AI governance, x-risk research, and digital minds.
As a lawyer, I'm bearish and brute: what can go wrong, will go wrong, so long as the incentives point that way. Doom and gloom — but criminal law has lived with that stance for centuries and built something durable around it. A deep skepticism toward concentrated power. Transparency. Long memory.
