What I'm looking for

I’m looking to join a team that values experimentation, creativity, and continuous learning and development, That allows me the creative autonomy to deliver meaningful impact in my career.

After several years excelling in content creation and social media management, I made a deliberate and strategic pivot away from the content side to immerse myself in the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence. Over the past year, I have worked extensively on Large Language Model (LLM) training projects, specializing in Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF). This hands-on experience allowed me to deeply understand how AI functions, where it succeeds, and where it fails and more importantly, how to prompt, guide, and fine-tune its performance to align with human intent and business goals.

With hundreds of tasks completed across various adversarial projects including prompt writing, response reviewing, response rating, sensitivity content (Harmful and Safety), and image reviewing projects and more.

I’ve developed a nuanced understanding of AI behaviour that has allowed me the opportunity to bring back this knowledge to the content and Social media world. My new understanding in AI enables me to identify opportunities where automation, content generation, customer engagement, and creative workflows can be optimised using the latest AI tools.

Combining my creative leadership experience with technical AI fluency makes me a unique asset to any forward-thinking team. I’m not just returning to the Social space, I’m elevating it, ready to leverage AI to drive efficiency, innovation, and measurable results.
