Freelancer Overview

I am a geology PhD candidate specializing in basin thermal evolution, structural geology, and hydrothermal mineralization, with hands-on AI training data experience across multiple active platforms and contracts. I hold active contracts with Outlier AI, DataAnnotation, Ambitus AI (Project Ares), and Handshake AI (Project Odyssey). Through Project Ares, I develop seismic interpretation prompts, evaluation rubrics, and golden artifacts across industry-standard datasets including Penobscot, F3, Beaufort Sea, and Stratton, and serve as a domain expert peer reviewer. I am also micro1-certified, having passed the platform's technical screening process. What sets me apart is the combination of deep domain expertise and practical experience designing the evaluation infrastructure that makes AI training data reliable. I understand not just the science being taught to models, but what makes a prompt unambiguous, a rubric defensible, and an artifact reproducible. My background spans seismic interpretation in OpendTect, Petrel, and Kingdom, fluid inclusion microthermometry, stable isotope geochemistry, and 3D structural analysis, giving me the technical range to contribute across geoscience, earth science, and broader STEM training tasks.
