What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a Legal AI Specialist role where I can contribute to AI model evaluation, prompt engineering, and structured legal research. I’m comfortable working remotely and asynchronously, and I’m interested in research across jurisdictions.

At a Social Security law firm, I research cases, analyze case law, and draft procedural filings. I also use spreadsheets and AI tools to perform pension and benefit calculations.

I design, build, and test structured prompts with Claude and ChatGPT to support legal document review, extract data from complex case files, and streamline workflows. I review AI-generated legal text for errors, unsupported precedents, and alignment with applicable legal frameworks.

As a 5th-semester Law student at Centro Universitário São Lucas, I’m focused on Civil Procedure, Administrative Law, and Social Security Law. My prior experience in business management and financial consulting informs my work on operational workflows and decision-making.
