When an AI incident happens,
who needs to know?
A proposed Canadian protocol for early notification of AI-agent incidents. An interactive demonstration grounded in a documented Australian case.

What survives the telling?
A study of how an AI incident becomes a public story—and how language shapes the research itself. Created for the Apart Research AI Safety Response Sprint.
Public-interest software. Local connections. Practical care.
A free, non-commercial map of Little Free Libraries across British Columbia. Built to help people discover, contribute to, and care for a shared local resource.
I built the GeoDjango application, geographic data workflow, community contribution system, and field-mapping process.
A scrapbook commemorating a high-impact, low-friction donation drive, with highlights for donors and the partnered non-profit organizations.
From information being available to information making a difference.

2026How do resource-bounded intelligent systems decide which internal information gets to influence behaviour?
Ground-truth computational studies separating information available inside a system from information that actually changes what it does.
Exact enumeration, eight adversarial controls, and 500 retained training initializations test the distinction.
E0-A results ↗Three operational accounts tested. One achieved bounded functional validation; two remained non-identified.
E0-B results ↗What happens when several useful monitoring channels compete for limited encoding or routing capacity?
E1 protocol ↗An informative-but-unused control carried the same hidden-state information as a successful system, with zero behavioural benefit. Information alone was not enough.
Space for play, companions, and things still taking shape.

The person behind the projects
I studied Biology with a minor in Psychology at the University of British Columbia, then worked in frontline harm reduction, then health systems, and now integrated youth services.
Alongside that work, I taught myself full-stack development and applied machine learning. My projects increasingly find the intersections between those strands: computational questions about intelligent systems, public-interest software, and tools that help people connect locally.
A personal digital landscape for writing, images, experiments, and fragments that do not quite belong in a portfolio or research archive. Part notebook, part gallery, part evolving map of whatever has my attention.
