Hello, I'm Alex

I'm a 28 year old from England, currently job hunting in the Effective Altruism space, and learning as much as I can (because it's fun as hell).

Below are my 6 strategic priorities

And here's some other stuff

• Learning log!!! 😎 (making what I'm learning about more legible)
• My open notebook for "learning how to think",
  • (I am now a member of the Open Research Institute!)
• My best Substack post (Deep Okayness )
• My guide to tpot (slide deck from Jan 2024)
• My favourite things
