What I'm looking for

I’m looking for fully remote, finance-domain AI evaluation work where I can apply rubric-based QA, RLHF feedback, and deep financial reasoning to deliver accurate, actionable analysis—and keep improving model reliability through precise, structured feedback.

I’m a financial analyst with a focus on AI evaluation and finance-domain quality assurance. With a BS in Economics and Finance from Kabarak University and three years at the intersection of financial analysis and AI evaluation, I deliver structured output assessment across platforms—including Mercor, Rise Data Labs, Handshake, and Micro1.

My work centers on AI-generated financial content like earnings summaries, market event analyses, and investment strategy outputs, where I look for failure modes such as hallucinated figures, overstated causal claims, and reasoning that sounds plausible but doesn’t hold against the underlying data. I bring strong fundamentals in financial statement analysis, valuation, and macroeconomics, backed by rubric-based rating, annotation, and RLHF feedback. In recent evaluator roles, I’ve identified issues across 200+ tasks, achieved top-15% evaluator quality on a platform, maintained 97% acceptance rates in annotation cycles, and helped reduce revision cycles and improve first-pass approvals through clear, actionable gap explanations.
