ABOUT ME
I graduated from Brown University, where I studied economics and mathematics. I focused on microeconomic theory. I'm now an econ grad student at Oxford and research associate at GPI, an Oxford research institute. When I'm not trying to be productive, I sometimes find myself writing, long-distance cycling, or oversleeping.

Some other things I've done
· Designed a font, which apparently got over forty thousand downloads at some point
· Biked from New York to Providence (193 miles) in one day
· Pledged to give everything I earn above $31,636/year (September 2020 inflation-adjustment) to the most effective charities possible [+]
I pledge to consume a maximum of $30,000 per year in September 2017 terms, following US inflation and 50% of the cost-of-living adjustment between Chicago (where I was in September 2017) and my current place of residence. Educational, extraordinary medical, and moderate work-related expenses do not count toward this maximum. I am also fortunate to have inherited savings which, on growing 2% per year, would cover a retirement at inflation-adjusted $30,000 per year. In the event of higher returns, the excess is donated; in the event of lower returns, donations slow until the gap is filled. Anything remaining after my death will be donated. |
