About

I’m Jason Lucero, a writing and narrative specialist with 17 years of teaching screenwriting across New York and Columbia Universities. I focus on diagnosing the core problems in a story—whether structural inefficiencies, tonal inconsistency, or unclear dramatic priorities—and turning them into actionable feedback that writers can actually use.

Since 2017 I’ve been Zurich-based, and I’m currently applying the same evaluative rigor I use for narrative and style to AI training and response-quality work. I create image- and graph-based prompts for model evaluation, run tasks through multiple AI systems, and apply rubric-based review to support reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF), while also bringing a deep background in film, production, and long-form fiction to every project I touch.
