Why I Built a Personal Site in the Age of AI (and Why You Should Too)

In a world where search engines, algorithms, and AI summaries dominate, personal websites have transcended their role as digital resumes. They have become the canonical context for both humans and machines to understand who we are, what we work on, and how to verify our work. Your personal site is no longer optional; it's your canonical context in this age of feeds, algorithms, and AI summaries.

This personal site serves as a working lab notebook, a hub for verifiable artifacts, and a filter for collaboration. Unlike a polished marketing brochure, it allows you to explain assumptions, show trade-offs, link to code and data, and update your thoughts as your thinking evolves. For AI and search engines, your site provides a clear, structured source about yourself, preventing them from inferring one from scattered fragments, which often leads to incorrect or incomplete information.

With increasing reliance on LLMs and search assistants, having a personal site has become a strategic move. It safeguards your digital presence from the volatility of platforms that can change their rules, disappear, or deprioritize your content. Your site remains under your control, accumulates authority over time, and serves as a 24/7 introduction to anyone, anywhere.

This site is intentionally minimal but opinionated, featuring projects ranging from LLM safety tooling to speculative systems and multi-agent experiments, as well as writing on epistemic uncertainty, evaluation, and the intersection of AI, consciousness, and computation. It also includes links to publications, preprints, and a clear signal about your future work and how to get in touch. The site is designed for humans seeking depth and machines requiring structure.
