Brent Roberts
@brentroberts
I design rigorous AI evaluations and improve complex operational systems through data, automation, and root-cause analysis.
What I'm looking for
At micro1, I design adversarial, expert-level AI evaluations and investigate failures in reasoning, evidence use, task specification, source quality, and QA. I build prompts, reference sets, golden answers, rubrics, grading guidance, and defensible failure analyses across healthcare, science, business operations, and governance.
Across independent consulting and healthcare operations leadership, I reconstruct under-documented workflows and data systems, then implement validated improvements with Python, SQL, Excel, APIs, and automation. I translate complex findings into SOPs, implementation plans, executive summaries, and decision-ready recommendations.
