I developed high-difficulty finance problems based on SEC filings to evaluate AI model performance on complex financial analysis tasks. I extracted granular financial data to create precise analytical questions with unique, verifiable answers. I constructed detailed step-by-step solutions as golden answers to benchmark model outputs across multiple settings. • Designed multi-step reasoning tasks requiring cross-section linkage and reconciliation • Evaluated model responses under various configurations to identify reasoning gaps • Collaborated with reviewers to refine problem quality and eliminate ambiguity • Maintained non-LLM authoring standards reflecting original analyst-level thinking

I designed and authored expert-level financial modeling and spreadsheet tasks for training and evaluating large language models on real-world analyst workflows. I created end-to-end task packages, including prompts, golden Excel solutions, and objective grading rubrics used in both text-based and spreadsheet-based execution environments. I applied rigorous evaluation criteria to assess numerical correctness, formula integrity, and reasoning quality against golden reference outputs. • Built institutional-quality financial models to stress-test model reasoning and identify failure modes • Translated complex financial workflows into clear, unambiguous prompts for AI evaluation and benchmarking • Validated outputs of multiple frontier LLMs and articulated results with strict standards • Ensured all models and tasks were suitable for long-horizon AI benchmarking tasks
