Spencer Frazier is a founder, engineer, and AI value-alignment researcher with over a decade of hands-on software and ML experience, from scaling Drizly (acquired by Uber for $1.1B) to leading DARPA- and AFRL-sponsored projects at Lockheed Martin. He blends product, architecture, and machine learning expertise—shipping mobile and web systems, CI/CD and containerized deployments, and privacy-preserving model deployments—while advising startups and research labs through his firm Amphia. As a PhD ABD at Georgia Tech he researches "Learning Social Norms From Stories," applying narrative-driven approaches to AI ethics and safety that bridge human factors and algorithmic behavior. Spencer has a track record of turning small teams into investable products, holds past security clearance, and has collaborated with top institutions (NSF, DARPA, GT, CMU, Yale) on applied autonomy and human-performance projects.
