What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can fine-tune LLMs for finance and econometrics, apply strong analytics (Excel/SQL/Stata/SPSS), and help automate decision-ready insights through rigorous evaluation and domain accuracy.

I’m a highly analytical Economics and Finance graduate building high-fidelity AI support for corporate finance and econometrics. I work across AI data engineering and domain expertise—training, aligning, and fine-tuning next-generation LLMs to improve mathematical accuracy, factual validity, and computational consistency.

Through contract, remote work on global platforms like Remotask, Outliers, and Handshake, I run RLHF evaluations and audit model responses using structured English logic. I also author complex prompt-response datasets and document edge cases and logic failures that can impact automated workflows.

Alongside AI work, I bring finance analytics experience from Safaricom PLC (Finance & Data Analyst Intern) and Delamere Farm (Finance Intern). I’ve built overhead variance tracking in advanced Excel, supported data cleaning for reconciliation, and supported cost containment through analytics and structured reporting.
