Lex strives to be a thoughtful learner and helpful friend in all he does. With consistent motivation to explore the “whys” behind anything and everything, he studied philosophy, psychology, and economics at NYU and led his own elementary school classroom post-graduation. Upon realizing the paradigm-shifting nature of modern data analytics and its potential to answer some of those “whys,” Lex pivoted, completing an intensive project based program with CareerFoundry.
Craving an understanding of not only how data can be used but also how it should and should not be used, he has developed strong roots within the Responsible Technology community in New York City. Although Lex maintains passionate intellectual interests in public education, urban design, and regenerative economics, the wicked problems of AI ethics, particularly the alignment problem, draw him in most deeply.
Eager to develop the art of communicating profoundly yet subtly, Lex is thrilled to be a part of The Data School’s program. Outside of professional life, he enjoys reading, practicing aikido, multi-instrumental live looping, spending time with friends, and doing nothing.
