## About

```text
Since 2024, I’ve worked as a freelance AI Training and Evaluation Specialist for Mindrift, Remotasks, Populii, and confidential client projects. I write civil and structural engineering tasks with technical images, worked solutions, and analysis of model failures.

I design tasks that test whether models can interpret beams, frames, sections, and site layouts from images. I also evaluate model responses and revise tasks in response to quality checks and reviewer feedback.

At Oville Associates, I designed and detailed structural elements and led condition audits of existing buildings. Earlier, at Center for Advanced Infrastructure Technology (CAITECH), I built and coordinated 3D structural models and helped optimise designs and BIM models that cut material costs by 15% while maintaining safety and structural integrity.
