Labeling Experience

Senior AI Training Specialist & Quality Assurance (Outlier AI)

ImageSegmentation
I performed high-precision image annotation for a computer vision project focused on Vision-Language Models. My tasks included complex spatial grounding and pixel-perfect coordinate tagging of up to 20 objects per image. I curated diverse multi-domain image datasets and rigorously verified all labeled objects with textual descriptions. • Used supervised fine-tuning to create detailed image descriptions with coordinate badge cross-references • Maintained a perfect quality score through strict guideline compliance and exclusion criteria • Sourced office environment and natural landscape images to prevent model overfitting • Implemented self-auditing workflows to eliminate hallucination risks from the ground truth

Lead Prompt Engineer & Model Alignment Researcher (Independent Technical Researcher)

TextRed Teaming
I performed adversarial red teaming and safety alignment testing for large language models, including Grok-4. My responsibilities involved designing prompt injection techniques to identify model vulnerabilities and producing structured technical reports with actionable safety feedback. I contributed to bias mitigation and improvement of model filter robustness through systematic testing. • Developed context-based counter-sample prompts to probe edge-case vulnerabilities • Employed A/B testing and activation mapping to uncover biases and hesitation patterns • Mapped neural weight inference and analyzed internal token distribution • Provided technical recommendations for RLHF-based safety adjustment protocols

Prompt Engineer (Self Employed)

TextPrompt Response Writing SFT
I generated diverse and high-complexity prompt-response pairs to train AI models in logical reasoning and creative writing tasks. My work contributed to supervised fine-tuning for language model improvement. I also analyzed and documented repeatable model failure modes to support engineering refinements. • Specialized in SFT data generation for natural language processing • Supported model training across creative and logical domains • Tested for and recorded logic breaks, loops, and repetition errors • Assisted with iterative improvement of token prediction algorithms
