Hi. I'm Blake Borgeson.

I'm currently mostly in California, though born and raised in Austin, Texas. I support existential risk organizations, particularly MIRI (Machine Intelligence Research Institute), working to help humanity survive and thrive through the oncoming wave of incredible technology the world is building right now. A team of folks at GoodForever.org supports my philanthropic activities and investments. 

I co-founded at Recursion Pharmaceuticals in 2013 and was CTO for several years. Recursion uses big automated experiments and machine learning to seek new treatments for many kinds of diseases. Way back in 2005, I co-founded buildasign.com and was something like CTO for a while. In between Recursion and BuildASign, I did a biology PhD in the Marcotte lab at UT-Austin, using machine learning and datasets generated in our lab to discover new protein complexes (trophy: my Nature paper). 

Some other ways to find me are in the About tab, above.
