WORK HISTORY
Advisor @Irregular Warfare Initiative
Analyzes the friction generated when new technologies—from AI and autonomous systems to crypto and biotech—are embedded in irregular warfare challenges and mission sets. Focused on four core dilemmas:1) Decision Making & Accountability: Reshaping decision dynamics in decentralized environments while maintaining political control while mitigating blowback or unintended consequences.2) Diffusion & Escalation: Addressing how low-cost, high-impact technologies enable both state and non-state actors to evade intelligence and exploit deniability.3) Legitimacy & Effectiveness: Navigating the tension between operational success and public legitimacy as capabilities outpace existing laws.4) Influence & Trust: Leveraging technology for effectiveness while countering adversary efforts to undermine trust through algorithmic bias and misinformation.
