What I'm looking for

I am seeking remote roles (AI Trainer, Prompt Engineer, SME) where I can apply domain expertise, refine LLM outputs, mentor teams, and contribute to high-quality, responsible AI products.

I am a Ph.D.-qualified civil engineer with over 12 years of university teaching experience and hands-on expertise in prompt engineering, content evaluation, and Python. I have contributed to AI prompt design and model evaluation while producing high-quality academic content for platforms like JoVE and Chegg.

At JoVE I developed and reviewed over 300 educational videos, creating scripts, quizzes, storyboards, and curriculum-aligned content; at Soul AI I designed domain-specific prompts and evaluated LLM responses for technical accuracy and reasoning. My research work includes experimental data collection, publications, a granted patent, and conference presentations in geotechnical and geoenvironmental applications.

I bring strong analytical, mentoring, and collaboration skills, a commitment to rigorous, accessible technical content, and a passion for improving model performance through domain-driven, data-informed feedback.
