Hi, I’m Chris.

I build systems at the intersection of AI and political power. I write Machines of Power, a newsletter about how artificial intelligence changes strategy, institutions, and who holds power.

I’m Senior Director at the Wikimedia Foundation for Machine Learning and Data Platform Engineering.

My background is in machine learning and data engineering. I wrote Machine Learning with Python for O’Reilly, created Machine Learning Flashcards, and build open-source tools.
