Ben Murphy

I'm currently a first year student at Harvard Law School, focused on the intersection of consumer protection with technology, with an eye to developing better regulatory schemes that don't inhibit progress but do curb the worst harms of new technologies. I was previously a Member of Technical Staff at Inflection AI, where I worked on product, ML infrastructure, data tooling and analysis, and a handful of other things. Before that, I was a full-stack engineer at Substack in San Francisco, a site reliability engineer at Google, and an intern at companies including MongoDB, Facebook, and Two Sigma.

I graduated Brown University with concurrent master's and bachelor's degrees in computer science. I was advised by Paul Valiant and worked on modeling the neural dynamics of the cerebellum. I also studied theoretical computer science and systems extensively and was a teaching assistant for many of my semesters at Brown.

When I'm not studying, I enjoy rock climbing, photography, cooking, running, playing strategy games, watching football, and many other hobbies, few of which I have time for, but all of which I refuse to give up. You can find me around Somerville, or occasionally in New York and San Francisco.
