I'm a Headhunting Product Specialist at 80,000 Hours. I help impactful orgs find good candidates to help make AI go well.
Some things I previously did:
- I co-founded EA Philippines and worked full-time as a community builder for EA PH in 2021.
- I was a Group Support Contractor for the Centre for Effective Altruism (CEA) for two years, where I helped support EA groups around the world.
- I co-founded WhiteBox Research and led its operations and marketing. WhiteBox aimed to develop more AI interpretability and safety researchers in Asia.
You can find me on LinkedIn.

- Can someone from LTFF confirm if this restriction (that the grant period should end on or before Aug 31, 2025) will be set for all applications in this Q1 grant round? (When I first saw the note referenced above around December, I thought it would lift before the Feb 15 deadline, but it seems like it's not going to be lifted by then?)
- I also have the same question as Pip above!
Thanks for the update! I appreciate that decisions will be communicated within 1.5 months of the application deadline.
Btw, this URL (https://funds.effectivealtruism.org/funds/far-future/apply) you link to leads to "Page not found".
I plan to use the Fireflies mobile app if people consent and just put my phone on the table (since I don't have a mic). I briefly tested the Fireflies desktop and phone app now with two speakers (me and a video playing with someone talking) and the phone app is pretty good at distinguishing between me and the video, even with me playing some background noise. It also records the audio itself, so I can play back and confirm what was actually said. It seems better than Granola, which I think doesn’t record the audio or distinguish between speakers for in-person meetings. cc @Toby Tremlett🔹
