Hello! My name is Elena, and I'm a London-based indie game dev looking to get back to work in the EA space. 

Biosecurity experience: 

• MSci Cell Biology degree, 1st class honours from UCL, Dean's list.
• Particularly focussed on human health (infection, immunology, and human genetics).
• Completed various internships: e.g. was listed on a patent for a proprietary gene editing system, helped code a program for a lab at Imperial that would help them design DNA barcodes.

AI safety experience: 

• Previously worked as a biomedical analyst and project manager at an AI-health-tech startup
• The startup provided an AI-driven software product platform to help clinicians find undiagnosed / misdiagnosed / miscoded patients across different disease indications
• Managed multiple projects end-to-end, often in parallel, interfacing between pharma clients, hospitals, and technical teams. This included managing the tech team's progress / product configuration and deployment.
• Published work example: The potential and pitfalls of using a large language model such as ChatGPT, GPT-4, or LLaMA as a clinical assistant
   

Creative experience: 

• Currently work as the art director for an indie game (3D models, 2D illustrations, UI design) with some copywriting on the side (see my portfolio for a quick showcase)
• Dabble in music production, singing / song-writing, creative writing, debate, and animation.
• Love to write essays, including some that I'd like to post here.
