Aleksi Maunu

CS Student + Organizer at Aalto EA and EA Helsinki

Hey there! 🐧

I have experience in EA community building (Aalto EA and EA Helsinki), and scattered knowledge about many EA related things. Shoot me a message if you think there's anything I can help you with or if you just wanna have a casual chat! :)
Here's my calendly: calendly.com/aleksi-maunu

Studying Computer Science at Aalto University (weird state between Bachelor's and Master's as of November 2021)

Rough career ideas:
- Technical AI safety research or AI policy work? Trying to figure out personal fit for these.
- Full time EA community building?
- I plan to do a Master's degree in Computer Science, and possibly a second one in Economics or Philosophy (no tuition fees here).
- Strongly considering doing an exchange year in Beijing in 2022-2023 to learn Mandarin and network in the AI sector.
- Backup plan is earning to give.

Non-EA things I love: music jamming, bad puns, competitive Smash Bros., Yes Theory, languages (Japanese has a special spot in my heart), travelling
