What I'm looking for

I am seeking remote, contract-based AI model training and evaluation work involving structured QA, rubric-based assessment, and guideline-driven review of audio and language outputs, including tone judgement, audio quality, content accuracy, and human-aligned evaluation. I work effectively in asynchronous, documentation-led environments with minimal supervision.

AI model training evaluator and multi-domain subject specialist with experience in structured evaluation, rubric design, and guideline-driven quality assessment across audio and language tasks. Focused on teaching AI systems how expert humans assess tone, clarity, emotional impact, and factual alignment in real-world scenarios.

Currently contributing to AI training and evaluation projects involving prompt review, output assessment, and scalable quality assurance. Experienced in working from written guidelines in fully remote, asynchronous environments, translating expert judgement into clear, repeatable evaluation criteria.

Strong background in audio judgement and voice evaluation, supporting tasks that require assessment of intelligibility, tonal balance, pacing, and emotional nuance. Applies trauma-aware and wellbeing-sensitive judgement where content impacts user mental state or emotional safety.

Brings decades of professional audio analysis enabling precise, consistent judgement in audio-based AI evaluation tasks.

Core Competencies:
• Structured QA and guideline-based judgement
• Rubric creation and gold answer development
• Audio judgement, voice clarity, and tonal evaluation
• Language, grammar, and tone assessment (native English)
• Prompt interpretation and output evaluation
• Factual alignment and content validation
• Emotional tone and wellbeing-aware assessment
• Human-aligned content safety and ethics
• Cross-domain adaptability (audio and language)
• Independent asynchronous work with minimal supervision
