For over 10 years, I have designed, built, and maintained backend systems, data pipelines, and internal tools for organizations ranging from The New York Public Library to large e‑commerce platforms like macys.com.

- Technical documentation, proofreading, and editing for software, data, and AI projects
- Human evaluation of AI-generated content and model outputs for accuracy, relevance, and naturalness
Recent and past work includes:

- Building and maintaining data pipelines and automated visualization dashboards to support executive KPI decision-making at macys.com
- Providing mobile app testing, software consulting, and documentation feedback as an independent contractor
What you can expect when working with me:
