Hi! I'm Francisco, a 2x founder, ML researcher, and software engineer looking to learn from an AI-safety-minded team that will let me combine my academic ML studies with software engineering to support research or a system in production. I'm sure I can help any team ship with my generalist skills and pragmatism inherited from handling operations myself in the companies I started.

Beyond ML roles, I am also excited about working on systems that improve the internet (as you would at e.g. Protocol Labs, or Mozilla) and I am passionate about tools-for-thought and PKM (e.g. Roam, Notion, Obsidian).

Location: Berlin, Germany

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No but will travel

Skills:

• Software engineering: Web, Python, Typescript, Clojure, other langs
• Machine Learning: research, reinforcement learning (RLlib, Pytorch, Tensorflow), complex networks
• Personal knowledge management and tools-for-thought (using and building them)
• Sensemaking in operations: running 2 start-ups

Notes:

• Wrote my MSc dissertation on Modeling the Recommender Alignment Problem, which I'm now turning into a series of digestible blog posts.
• Have been somewhat involved in the AI Safety community, taking part in summer schools, and the AI Safety Research Program in 2019.
