What I'm looking for

I seek a role applying mathematics and data analysis to improve LLM performance and AI alignment, working on dataset creation, model validation, and collaborative research within an ethical, growth-oriented team.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Mathematics and Computer Science and I apply mathematical rigor to real-world AI and data problems. I focus on improving model performance by combining statistical analysis with strong computational methods.

As a data analyst I conducted research to enhance AI model performance for mathematical tasks, labeled and curated high-quality datasets, developed algorithms, and implemented reproducible analysis workflows. I have written clean Python code, used advanced Excel for analysis and visualization, and worked directly on dataset creation that improves large language models.

I am committed to AI alignment and safety, and I enjoy collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to translate mathematical insight into reliable model behavior. I also engage with community initiatives in mathematics education and public health awareness to broaden the impact of my work.
