What I'm looking for

I’m particularly interested in model evaluation, conversational behavior, safety and alignment, interaction quality, and developing evaluation frameworks that uncover where AI systems succeed, fail, or behave unexpectedly.

At Handshake AI, I evaluate AI-generated content for quality, relevance, reasoning, and user usefulness, applying structured feedback to support more reliable AI systems. At TELUS Digital AI Data Solutions, I review and annotate AI data to improve dataset consistency, factual alignment, and model response quality.

My work is grounded in a B.S. in Digital Communication Arts and study of Philosophy of Technology and Mind. I’m particularly interested in model evaluation, conversational behavior, safety and alignment, interaction quality, and evaluation frameworks that reveal where AI systems succeed or behave unexpectedly.

In the United States Navy, I managed operational systems aboard an aircraft carrier and developed training protocols and evaluation rubrics for vehicle operations. I also led a 45-person team and helped maintain consistent safety and performance standards.
