Prompt Engineer (Gulf of Mexico AI Ecology Dataset)

Scale AITextPrompt Response Writing SFT
On the Gulf of Mexico AI Ecology Dataset project, I authored advanced prompts for food-web collapse and genomic adaptation to support supervised fine-tuning. I achieved high scoring rubric reliability for annotation tasks and facilitated AI reasoning improvements in ecological scenarios. My contributions directly impacted dataset quality and downstream AI biological modeling performance. • Authored more than 600 subject matter expert prompts supporting data labeling and supervised fine-tuning • Ensured 96 percent rubric reliability through detailed prompt/response evaluation • Collaborated with AI specialists to enhance data instructiveness and reliability for ecological LLM systems • Focused on frontier cases in marine ecological modeling and genomic adaptation.
