Hi everyone. My name is Jay, and I’m a software engineer from Brisbane, Australia. My current goal is to become financially independent so I can devote the rest of my life to whatever cause I deem most worthy without needing to worry about earning a living. I expect to reach this point around 2025. I’ve joined the EA Forum because I want to spend some time in the next few years examining different causes, learning about the EA movement, and figuring out how I can scale my efforts to make a big impact in retirement.
I prefer to focus on concrete problems that are very scalable, and that one can easily contribute to in a small but meaningful way. Thus, the best option I’ve found so far is focusing on extreme global poverty. I also don’t want to fall in the trap of always telling myself I’ll do good later and never getting around to it, so in February of this year, I finally signed the Giving What We Can pledge.
