I currently live in California and work at Stripe. I grew up in Ireland and previously studied at MIT.

Things I'm involved with and areas of interest:

• Economic growth. Stripe's core mission.
• Entrepreneurship. Stripe Atlas helps many new companies get started.
• Climate. Stripe Climate is the largest coalition of carbon removal purchasers in the world.
• Housing production. CA YIMBY is pushing for important reform; so too is Ronan Lyons. (See also the housing theory of everything.)
• Books and ideas. Stripe Press publishes books about economic and technological advancement. Tyler Cowen and I helped start Progress Studies.
• Science. Arc Institute is a new way to do biomedical research. Fast Grants distributed substantial amounts to scientists during the COVID pandemic.
