Freelancer Overview

I specialize in AI safety, prompt engineering, model evaluation, and policy risk, with hands-on experience in developing and refining high-quality training datasets for large language models. My work at Scale AI (Outlier ai) focuses among others on RLHF (Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback), where I audit "Chain-of-Thought" reasoning, annotate complex outputs, and debug Python code to enhance model accuracy and reliability. In addition, I red team AI outputs by using technical complex prompt injection techniques to uncover vulnerabilities and weak points. I am skilled in identifying ambiguous or high-risk cases, making defensible decisions regarding safety and misinformation, and collaborating with engineering and policy teams to improve data labelling processes and internal guidelines. My technical toolkit includes Python, SQL, Excel, Power BI, SAP, and Tableau, and I have contributed to projects involving prompt engineering and model fine-tuning. My background also includes launching and managing e-commerce platforms, giving me a strong foundation in data-driven operations and cross-functional teamwork. I am passionate about ensuring the quality, safety, and integrity of AI systems through meticulous data annotation and process improvement.

AI Operations & Model Safety Specialist (RLHF Data Labeling & Model Evaluation)

Scale AIVideoRLHFFine Tuning
I developed high-quality training datasets and audited 'Chain-of-Thought' reasoning to enhance model accuracy and safety for RLHF projects. I thoroughly reviewed high-risk and ambiguous AI outputs, making defensible decisions on safety, misinformation, and intellectual property issues. I collaborated and contributed to the refinement of review guidelines, process improvements, and delivered structured reports to support risk governance and data quality efforts. • Conducted escalation case investigations to improve model consistency and reduce repeated issues. • Flagged emerging risk patterns and communicated them to engineering and policy teams. • Fine-tuned Large Language Models (LLMs) using human feedback loops and rating workflows. • Managed multiple priority workflows and coordinated with cross-functional teams to resolve labeling and training process issues.
