## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm looking to apply AI evaluation, product analytics, and data-product building skills to improve model quality, operational performance, and user outcomes.
```

## About

```text
I've evaluated 4,400+ LLM responses and agent trajectories across Claude, GPT-4, and Gemini, translating open-ended model behavior into measurable acceptance criteria, benchmarks, and failure taxonomies.

At AmpUp AI, I was the only analyst, owning product analytics across 650,000 events and building the PRD, data architecture, and entity-resolution pipeline for a 48-state operators database. I also cut LLM operating cost by 80% through prompt caching, batching, and parallel execution.

At Turing and Pareto AI, I've improved evaluation throughput while maintaining 96% QA acceptance, investigated model failures, and built Python validation checks that focus review time on meaningful model behavior.
```

## Experience

### AI Agent Web Specialist (current)

Turing. Jul 2026 - Present

```text
Evaluated 400+ multi-step agent trajectories across Claude, GPT-4, and Gemini at 96% QA acceptance, scoring full action sequences. Diagnosed 110 failed trajectories, escalated 20 invalid tasks, and raised throughput from 45 to 65-70 trajectories per week.
```

Skills: LLM-Evaluation, Agent-Trajectory-Analysis, Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, Prompt-Engineering, QA, Failure-Analysis

### AI Data Analyst, Model Evaluation

Pareto AI. Nov 2025 - Jun 2026

```text
Evaluated 4,000 LLM responses at 96% QA acceptance and 94% gold-task agreement, designing 300+ structured test scenarios. Built a failure taxonomy, wrote 10 automated validation checks, and analyzed 900 lower-scoring responses to identify performance gaps.
```

Skills: LLM-Evaluation, Python, Pandas, SQL, Test-Scenario-Design, Failure-Taxonomy, QA, Rubric-Alignment

### Product Data Analyst
