Sandy F is an AI safety researcher and seasoned software engineer with eight years of experience building robust ML systems, large-scale data platforms, and 3D applications. Currently focused on developmental interpretability, Sandy publishes work (including an ICLR paper) on selective regularisation to steer neural networks toward more predictable, controllable representations. They combine hands-on engineering—distributed GPU orchestration, ML deployment pipelines, and reactive front-end patterns—with systems thinking to operationalize safer AI in production. Past roles include principal engineering leadership in supply-chain analytics and cross-disciplinary consulting at Thoughtworks, where they shaped delivery practices and founded internal community groups. Based in Melbourne, Sandy pairs technical depth with a talent for translating complex research into practical engineering solutions and community-building.
