Professionally

I’m Zach, an independent mechanistic interpretability researcher with a background in bioinformatics. Right now I’m working on tools for understanding the internal representations of large language models. For my full background, see my resume.

Personally

In my free time, you can find me:

• Outside, running, hiking, and backpacking
• Tinkering with ham radio, either building antennas or up on mountains for Summits on the Air
• Experimenting with fermentation, pushing the boundaries of what I can feasibly produce in a home kitchen
