Hi, I’m Christian

I’m an AI engineer and alignment researcher focused on building agents, LLM pipelines, evaluations, and researching strategic deception. Previously, I was a data scientist in applied natural language processing and machine learning, spanning projects from one-off analyses and applied research to production AI systems.

My research sits at the intersection of how transformer algorithms reason, and how internal reasoning structures and dynamics emerge within LLMs. I also explore how attention mechanisms mediate input faithfulness as contextual signal quality degrades.

Outside of my work, I’m probably traveling, making music or occasionally tossing around yo-yos.
