Initially I was a temp via NextSource ($72/hr, "Research
Associate") while we got the SecureBio non-profit to where
it was ready to have employees. On 2022-12-06 I became a
SecureBio employee ($145k, "Staff Software Engineer").
I took a significant pay cut for this role because I think the work is very important. In Spring 2024 I took on co-leadership, and now lead the Near-Term Detection side of the NAO. In January 2025 I decided to take a voluntary salary reduction of $15k annually. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
