@diamhamstra
I build production AI systems, Python backends, and scalable cloud applications.
What I'm looking for
I've built AI systems and production applications across Turing, Mercor, Alignerr, ITTECH, CropCare, and AOM, using Python, React, and cloud-native infrastructure.
At Turing, I evaluate LLM-generated codebases, build Python and Node.js validation tools, automate quality checks, and use React dashboards to monitor model performance. At Mercor and Alignerr, I developed FastAPI services and data workflows for ML evaluation, validation, transformation, and model-ready training inputs.
At ITTECH, I deployed NLP models through AWS SageMaker and EKS, built chatbot and real-time data platforms, optimized PostgreSQL performance, and delivered React-based interfaces for mortgage and virtual-machine workflows.
Experience
Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
Work on multiple projects using Cursor, Google Gemini, and Edu Arena to generate and evaluate complete codebases, reviewing the quality of LLM output. Evaluate and review LLM-generated data trajectories and project outputs, assessing reasoning quality, tool-use accuracy, and adherence to task instructions.
Processed and structured large volumes of raw data from complex documents for use in ML training and evaluation pipelines. Designed structured data extraction workflows in Python, defining output fields, data types, validation rules, and handling logic.
Built Python backend services and data pipeline components using FastAPI, processing and transforming training data for ML model evaluation workflows. Developed and maintained Python scripts for data validation, transformation, and quality assurance across ML pipeline stages.
Worked on multiple projects using Cursor and Google Gemini and Edu Arena to generate and evaluate complete codebases, leading a team responsible for reviewing the quality of LLM output. Used Node.js and Python to build small apps for each project, test the code Gemini produced, and automate parts of the review process.
