About

International Development and Operations professional with 12+ years of experience delivering programs across Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. I bring deep practitioner knowledge in government-adjacent and non-profit contexts - including grant management, compliance oversight, monitoring & evaluation, and policy-aligned program design - directly applicable to evaluating AI responses in high-stakes public sector domains.
My hands-on experience in AI model evaluation at Micro1 and Mercor allows me to design realistic prompts, execute real-world tasks, and develop evaluation rubrics for frontier AI models. By blending frontline field experience with rigorous AI task design and evaluation, I help AI systems better understand and support genuine human activities.
