Hi, I'm Samuel Crist. I work as an independent contractor focusing on multimodal AI evaluation and data labeling. I perform multimodal daily preference ranking of AI outputs (images, audio, and video) against prompts to help teams measure model performance and guide improvements. I'm pursuing a BS in Computer Science at California State University, Chico, where I study algorithms, AI training methods, and hardware fundamentals. Based in Chico, CA, I enjoy collaborating with cross-functional AI teams to translate feedback into reliable training data and stronger models.
