What I'm looking for

I am seeking roles that leverage deep philological expertise in AI alignment, semantic validation, and dataset grounding for the Georgian language (Native), with opportunities to influence safety and QA practices in low-resource language environments.

I am a Senior Philologist and Semantic Architect with over 25 years of experience in editorial leadership, linguistic validation, and structural alignment for high-stakes academic and philosophical content.

My work centers on human-in-the-loop processes for AI alignment and safety, including RLHF, Chain of Thought reasoning, semantic grounding to prevent LLM hallucinations, and adversarial red-teaming focused on regional misinformation risks.

I have managed the publication and semantic validation of 400+ titles, led dataset grounding for the Georgian low-resource language, and apply deep philological expertise to refine AI training data and quality assurance workflows.

Selected Semantic Projects:

Ludwig Wittgenstein’s 'Philosophical Investigations': Lead Semantic Architect for German-to-Georgian alignment of analytic concepts.
Robert D. Putnam’s 'Making Democracy Work': Strategic oversight of political science discourse and terminological precision.
E.H. Gombrich’s 'The Story of Art': Validation of art-historical terminology and semantic consistency across English and Georgian editions.
