What I'm looking for

I'm looking for remote AI evaluation, data quality, AI safety, or AI governance work where I can assess model risks, improve training data, develop evaluation rubrics, and support responsible AI deployment.

I've evaluated AI model outputs at Mercor across text, code, and reasoning tasks, maintaining a quality acceptance rate above 97% with zero unresolved disputes.

My work with E2F Inc. and RWS Group spans text, image, video, and audio annotation, including object tracking, temporal labeling, data validation, and quality review for AI training datasets. I detect malformed records, missing data, formatting inconsistencies, hallucinations, reasoning failures, and instruction-following failures using structured evaluation criteria.

As an independent AI Safety and Policy Associate, I assess AI risks, red-team LLMs, analyse governance gaps against the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and UNESCO AI Ethics Recommendation, and draft responsible-use guidance and policy briefs.
