What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can blend applied engineering with AI research—building prompts, modeling technical workflows, and evaluating LLM outputs—while collaborating in remote, asynchronous teams that value accuracy, documentation, and continuous improvement.

I’m an engineering professional with over five years of experience across applied engineering, systems analysis, technical documentation, and research-driven problem-solving. I’m skilled in mechanical and electrical engineering principles, engineering design, data analysis, and AI-assisted workflows, and I bring domain expertise into AI research settings.

In my current remote role as an AI research contributor, I provide engineering expertise to help improve AI understanding of technical workflows and real-world engineering tasks. I develop industry-specific prompts, review AI-generated outputs for technical accuracy and clarity, and collaborate on model evaluation and workflow improvement—spanning prompt development, workflow modeling, data annotation, and Large Language Model (LLM) evaluation.
