I'm a senior (20+ years of experience) frontend web developer that wants to transition into a career that benefits others and the world. I'm interested mostly in AI safety.
Hey everyone, my name is Diego and I'm a freelance web developer based in Italy.
After years of working for a couple of companies with dubious goals I got fed up and decided that I want to change my career and do something good for the world. With my software engineering background I'm obviously drawn to the AI safety topic (but I won't shy away from other causes like animal welfare for example).
Since by trade I make websites and apps and I don't have formal training or experience in the AI space (bar a couple of chat bots integrations), I'm now on a quest to learn how this field works and how can I best apply my skills to safeguard our future from potentially catastrophic AI development.
I've been doing a lot of reading in the past month, and I'm looking for connections that can guide me in this process. Should anyone be in need of advice regarding web development don't hesitate to drop a message, I'll be glad to help!
As for my hobbies I'm into martial arts, role playing games, and music (I play the electric bass).
Looking forward to connect with like minded people and do some good :)
