Erli Mertika
@erlimertika
I evaluate frontier AI reasoning and turn complex philosophical material into clear, useful analysis.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I evaluate the reasoning of a frontier AI model for a confidential AI company, reviewing responses for accuracy and reasoning quality and writing prompts that test difficult ethical and practical problems. I identify weaknesses in model outputs and explain where the reasoning fails.
My Ph.D. in Philosophy and teaching experience at the University of South Florida and Hillsborough Community College ground my work in research, writing, ethics, critical thinking, and clear communication. I've designed courses, developed accessible materials for complex ideas, and published “The Trouble with Creating Values after God’s Death.”
