Freelancer Overview

I am passionate about advancing AI through high-quality data labeling, annotation, and training data processes, with hands-on experience in both research and applied machine learning projects. My work includes developing and fine-tuning NLP models using custom datasets, such as designing a Nietzschean QA set to study domain adaptation and building preprocessing pipelines with Hugging Face Transformers. I have implemented data extraction and analysis frameworks for mechanistic interpretability research, focusing on understanding how language models represent nuanced concepts like intent and error. My technical skills include Python, PyTorch, NumPy, Pandas, and Git, and I am adept at designing and evaluating annotation workflows for both structured and unstructured data. I am excited to contribute my expertise in data preparation and quality assurance to create robust, reliable AI systems.
