## About

```text
At RWS (TRAINAI), I annotated, labeled, and reviewed datasets used to train and fine-tune machine learning and generative AI models. I also evaluated AI-generated responses for accuracy, relevance, tone, and safety, and flagged ambiguous guidelines and edge cases.

At HANDSHAKE AI FELLOWSHIP, I wrote complex prompts, crafted reference answers, and rated model outputs. I also analyzed annotation batches to spot error trends and recommend guideline clarifications that reduced rework.
