## About

```text
At Outlier — Scale AI project environments, I completed 10,000+ LLM training, evaluation, and review tasks. I compared model responses, scored them against project-specific criteria, and documented evidence-based quality judgments.

My review work assessed factual accuracy, reasoning, tone, relevance, and instruction-following. I also evaluated audio responses, reported safety-related risks, and rewrote responses where required; I completed 500+ hours of Outlier project certification/recognized contribution.

At Handshake AI, I contribute to Turkish-language AI evaluation and reasoning-related workflows. My background also includes software sales, IT recruitment, corporate credit analysis, publishing, and SEO content work, alongside published literary criticism and the illustrated children’s book Altın Madeni.
