Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Rodrigues is an AI alignment researcher based in the San Francisco Bay Area with 12 years of experience building high-impact robotics and autonomy systems. He co-founded and led Embark from prototype code written in his parents’ garage to IPO and eventual acquisition, scaling technical teams to 150 engineers and raising over $450M while delivering the first coast-to-coast self-driving truck and commercial operations with a major fleet. Now at Anthropic, he applies hands-on technical judgment born of product-stage leadership to research on aligning advanced AI with human values. A Thiel Fellow, Y Combinator alum, and former youngest CEO of a public company, he combines inventor’s curiosity—having built robots since age 11—with rare operational experience at the intersection of research, safety, and large-scale deployment.
