What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply multimodal data evaluation and full-stack engineering to real-world problems, particularly technology for sustainable good. I value opportunities to turn raw data into narrative insight, improve frontier AI models, and collaborate on meaningful work.

At Mercor, I progressed from multimodal AI data annotation to leading quality oversight for 19 writers, reviewing complex image annotations and creating evaluation rubrics and Golden Examples that increased dataset accuracy from 86% to 91% in one month.

I evaluate AI outputs across content safety, age ratings, therapist-style responses, video reasoning, and conversation logs while protecting privacy by identifying PII. I also build AI tools such as EnviroSync with Python and RAG techniques, and bring commercial video production, graphic design, and mobile-development teaching experience using Dart, Flutter, and GitHub.
