Ajinkya Pannase
@ajinkyapannase
AI evaluator at Mercor and robotics video annotator at micro1, scoring Hindi LLM responses and tagging robot-task failures.
What I'm looking for
At Mercor, I evaluate paired Hindi-language LLM responses against an eight-dimension rubric, with scores, preference rankings, and written justifications. I verify factual claims against authoritative sources and built a personal QC process that helped me address recurring errors.
At micro1, I annotate robotics videos by judging task completion, tagging actions, and marking failures at precise timestamps. I’ve annotated 80 videos using Feather and Horizon.
Previously, at Martian Wall, I wrote operating instructions for a live Claude agent and built a financial-news triage workflow and Python market scanner. My work also includes enterprise incident investigation at Infosys Ltd. and co-authoring two peer-reviewed papers from research at CSIR – Central Mechanical Engineering Research Institute (CMERI), Durgapur.
