Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEzra Newman is an evaluations engineer and computer scientist with eight years of hands-on experience building and stress-testing AI systems, robotics, and full-stack applications. He specializes in pre-deployment safety evaluations for frontier models, automating large-scale testing and surfacing novel risk-relevant behaviors to inform deployment decisions. Equally comfortable diving into Go internals for high-performance stream processing or optimizing web services to run interactively at scale, he pairs deep technical craftsmanship with a moral-philosophical perspective on where and why systems are used. Ezra thrives on turning ambiguous, high-stakes problems into well-tested, production-ready solutions and has a track record of independent ownership across startups, research labs, and applied projects. Based in London, he brings the rare combination of philosopher’s big-picture thinking and engineer’s impatience to take things apart and make them better.
