I’m Uzay (pronounced ooze-eye). I work on scaling human oversight at Fulcrum Research.

I learned math, computer science, and physics at MIT. While there, I did research on the dynamics of in context learning, synthetic generation of challenging software tasks and scaling laws for language modeling, among other things. Before MIT, I also made a bunch of open source software.

I grew up in Paris, and then in Cambridge, at East Campus and then pika. I now live in San Francisco. I like art. I write poetry and essays on my blog and my substack. I’m an avid climber and I would like to live in the mountains many years from now.
