Reliable AI Evaluation Workflow

A structured approach for evaluating code, technical reasoning, evidence, edge cases, and recurring model failure patterns.

Backend server infrastructure
BackendAPIs

Production API & Integration Layer

Validated and normalized third-party data, added resilient error handling, and exposed reliable services to application and reporting layers.

Data analytics dashboard
DataAutomation

ETL & Analytics Automation

Python and SQL workflows for ingestion, cleaning, deduplication, validation, transformation, dashboards, and operational reporting.

About & experience

Building dependable systems from data to production.

I’m a senior software engineer with more than six years of experience across backend development, full-stack delivery, data automation, analytics, and AI/ML evaluation.

I’m strongest in environments where the problem is partially defined, the data is messy, or reliability matters more than a flashy demo.

AI/ML Evaluation & Technical Reviewer

Independent Contractor · Remote

Oct 2024 — Present

Evaluate AI-generated code, data-analysis solutions, machine-learning reasoning, API designs, debugging approaches, and technical explanations. Produce precise, evidence-based feedback on reasoning gaps, hallucinations, missing edge cases, and data-quality concerns.

Backend / Full-Stack Software Engineer

Seven Hills Technology · Remote

Mar 2022 — Aug 2024

Designed and maintained production backend services, API integrations, data-ingestion workflows, and full-stack features using Python, Node.js, TypeScript, React, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, AWS, and Docker.

Data Analysis & Automation Developer

IntelliX Software Inc · Remote

Mar 2019 — Feb 2022

Built Python and SQL data workflows, reporting automation, dashboards, and internal tools that transformed spreadsheets, APIs, and database records into dependable datasets and practical analytical findings.

Education: Bachelor of Science, Ohio University · 2016–2019

How I work

Clear thinking before clever code.

01

Understand the real constraint

Clarify users, data ownership, failure modes, security needs, and operational limits before choosing architecture or tools.

02

Build for observability

Treat logging, metrics, tracing, testing, and recoverability as part of the system—not cleanup work after launch.

03

Document the decisions

Leave behind maintainable code, explicit tradeoffs, clear interfaces, and documentation that helps the next engineer move faster.
