Hi, I'm Allen! I’m an engineer, creative technologist, and animal advocate currently living in New York City. I’m deeply engaged in the worlds of effective altruism, AI safety, and animal welfare, and currently work as an Associate at Electric Sheep where I facilitate the Futurekind AI fellowship. I’ve collaborated with organizations like Sentient Futures, Open paws, and Bluedot in various capacities, either facilitating fellowships in AIxAnimals, helping organize hackathons, or (soon-to-be) taking part in accelerator programs. In 2026, I’ll be mentoring in the SF Project Incubator and the SPAR fellowship.

I also love making videogames in my free time, which you can find here. :)

• I'm currently looking to transition full-time to the intersection of AI safety x Animal welfare, so if you know of any full-time roles, please feel free to DM me!

• I'm working on various AIxAnimals projects, and have some initial plans to start a nonprofit as well, so if you're interested in that, would love to get in touch :)

• Help you build your network and connect you to others in the EA, AI or Animal advocacy space

• I come from an extensive technical background with hardware/software experience - if you need any technical advice or help

• Just generally chat through your project idea if I can provide any insight or support

• Recommend a variety of fellowships, courses, conferences, etc. for anyone looking to upskill or capacity-build - I've facilitated multiple fellowships on EA/AI/Animals and love going to conferences in the space as well
