What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my AI expertise and language skills, fostering innovation and collaboration in a dynamic environment.

I am a results-driven Prompt Engineer and certified Spanish Translator with extensive experience in working with Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Llama. My specialization lies in crafting effective prompts, language data annotation, and building conversational AI systems using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). I have a proven track record of identifying insights from language datasets and translating them into actionable recommendations, committed to leveraging AI technologies to enhance user experiences and drive product improvements.

In my recent role as a Python Developer and Prompt Engineer at BattlePACs, I engineered precise prompts for text summarization and collaborated with cross-functional teams to refine GPT-3 prompts. My experience as a Freelance Data Scientist and NLP Engineer has equipped me with skills in language data processing, topic modeling, and dataset creation. I have also worked as a Language Data Annotator, where I maintained high data quality standards for language annotation tasks, and as a Freelance Spanish-English Translator, focusing on cultural sensitivity and appropriate language in translations.
