What I'm looking for

I’m looking for AI evaluation projects where I can generate prompts, analyze legal reasoning, apply quality scoring, and strengthen reasoning reliability and transparency—ideally supporting leading technology organizations with structured, accuracy-focused assessment.

I am a highly analytical legal researcher and AI evaluation specialist, combining structured legal reasoning with rigorous evaluation of complex arguments—especially in environments using AI systems and automated decision tools. My work centers on assessing accuracy, logical structure, and alignment with established legal principles through careful research, case law review, and statutory interpretation.

Through my legal training and doctoral research at Harvard (PhD – Legal Analytics & Artificial Intelligence), I have developed evaluation models and scoring criteria to test logical validity and reasoning reliability in automated systems. I design prompts that challenge AI reasoning capabilities, identify unsupported assumptions, and improve transparency so that AI-generated legal analysis becomes more dependable for real-world use.
