I’m Alex Kiptalam, a Senior Software Engineer and AI technical specialist focused on building reliable Python and backend systems, data pipelines, and structured evaluation workflows. I break down ambiguous technical requirements into reproducible steps, validate data transformations end-to-end, and investigate unexpected behavior with a verification-first mindset. I’ve worked across ETL workflows (Python, PostgreSQL, SQL, dbt), repository-based development (Git, Linux/WSL, VS Code), and AI evaluation tasks where correctness, instruction compliance, and error classification matter. I enjoy turning real engineering problems into testable cases—so we can measure outcomes, catch edge cases, and improve software and AI system reliability with clear, actionable feedback.…I’m Alex Kiptalam, a Senior Software Engineer and AI technical specialist focused on building reliable Python and backend systems, data pipelines, and structured evaluation workflows.

Work Experience

Coding, Automation & AI Task Contributor at Vetto AI / Vetto Arena

January 1, 2026 - Present

Contributed to a Python ETL workflow transferring Shopify e-commerce data into PostgreSQL, followed by dbt transformations for analytics. Developed a structured extraction-to-load approach with downstream validation to ensure data quality independent of dashboards. Worked with schemas and transformation requirements to maintain consistent, usable analytical outputs. Applied a requirements-and-verification approach by breaking a larger deliverable into discrete, checkable steps suitable for benchmark construction and evaluation-ready artifacts.

Software Engineering / Technical Evaluation Projects at AfterQuery

January 1, 2025 - Present

Worked on technical project contexts involving engineering and structured assessment of technical outputs. Analyzed implementation requirements and observed behavior relative to expected results, focusing first on understanding requirements before judging solution fit. Produced actionable findings by identifying shortcomings and documenting verification-oriented observations.

AI Evaluator & Data Quality Contributor at CrowdGen by Appen

January 1, 2023 - Present

Evaluated AI-generated content against task-specific instructions and quality requirements using structured evaluation criteria. Reviewed responses for factual accuracy, relevance, consistency, and compliance with instructions. Identified errors and ambiguous outputs and documented findings to support quality improvement, maintaining consistent annotation procedures and objective, reviewable judgments.

AI Data and Evaluation Projects Contributor at TELUS Digital

January 1, 2022 - January 1, 2026

Participated in AI-related data and evaluation workflows requiring adherence to detailed instructions. Reviewed structured outputs using consistent criteria for relevance, correctness, and specification compliance. Applied verification-oriented review practices while also engaging with Python automation and data-processing work related to ETL-style workflows, database integration, and analytical transformations. Managed code changes with Git and development tools, investigating failure conditions, incorrect outputs, and data quality issues.

Software Engineering & AI Technical Project Contributor at Revelo

January 1, 2021 - Present

Participated in software development and AI-assisted engineering workflows that included code analysis and structured review of generated changes. Worked in environments using Windows, WSL, Ubuntu, Git, and VS Code, following repository constraints and dependency considerations. Emphasized correctness, instruction adherence, and scope-limited changes while decomposing tasks and checking whether implementations satisfied intended objectives.

AI Data Annotation & Model Evaluation Contributor at Remotasks

January 1, 2018 - January 1, 2024

Completed structured AI data and model-output evaluation tasks according to project guidelines. Assessed outputs against defined requirements, identified discrepancies requiring correction or further review, and applied systematic quality checks for consistency. Focused on output accuracy, completeness, and task compliance while practicing edge-case analysis and structured assessment of model results.
