ROBINSON OJWANG
@robinsonojwang
Generative AI & NLP specialist blending computation and creativity.
What I'm looking for
I am a Generative AI and NLP specialist with 11+ years of end-to-end experience in language data operations, model evaluation, prompt engineering, and human–AI narrative collaboration. I combine computational linguistics, creative writing, and digital humanities to design cognitive-aware evaluation frameworks, build multilingual datasets, and ship production LLM features that balance quality, safety, and creativity.
I have led large-scale annotation and preference-ranking programs, created rubric- and pairwise-based evaluation harnesses, and delivered production features across consumer and enterprise products. My work has improved editorial acceptance, reduced rewrite time, and lowered policy violations while expanding multilingual capabilities and rigorous rater calibration.
