@thomaspentzek
Experienced AI evaluator and content writer specializing in LLM evaluation and quality-driven content.
What I'm looking for
I am an experienced AI evaluator and content writer with over five years evaluating LLM outputs and more than ten years producing SEO and editorial content. I focus on correctness, relevance, completeness, tone, and policy compliance to improve model performance and user experience.
In my current role with Outlier, I evaluate AI responses using rubrics, write precise rationales, and document edge cases and typical error patterns such as hallucinations and incorrect conclusions. I consistently apply guidelines and provide clear improvement suggestions to support model optimization.
As a freelance content creator since 2014, I produce and revise web articles, longform explainers, and SEO content across finance, cryptocurrencies, technology, iGaming, and general web topics, working with CMS platforms like WordPress.
My background includes leadership roles as a Plant Manager in Mexico and client support management at Microsoft Mail App, where I led teams, drove quality management, and implemented process improvements—bringing a strong process mindset and emphasis on documentation and feedback loops.
