What I'm looking for

I'm interested in search quality evaluation and helping improve the relevance and usefulness of AI-powered search results.

At LAICA, I reviewed scientific results and supporting information for accuracy and consistency, and prepared operational reports, annual plans, and budget documentation.

I maintained standard operating procedures and quality-control practices, coordinated laboratory workflows, and contributed to scientific publications and presentations.

At the Genomic Analysis Laboratory (LAGEN), I conducted research involving molecular characterization, pathogen detection, and real-time PCR. I documented findings, optimized protocols, and interpreted scientific information with attention to reproducibility.

I'm interested in search quality evaluation and helping improve the relevance and usefulness of AI-powered search results. My background also includes advanced English studies at Ned College and assisting with skincare cream development and quality-control activities.
