Labeling Experience

Mercor Intelligence | Domain Expert - Contractor (AI training & RLHF domain expertise)

MercorTextRLHF

Served as a Domain Expert for a leading AI lab, applying Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) to improve model outputs related to physical hardware diagnostics. Translated electronics engineering and circuit-failure expertise into structured reasoning data for LLMs. Focused on improving accuracy and reasoning quality for complex, real-world failure scenarios. • Evaluated complex LLM outputs for correctness and reasoning quality • Translated physical diagnostic skills (e.g., fault isolation) into training/rationale data • Provided electronics engineering and circuit architecture guidance to the AI lab • Supported RLHF workflows to align model behavior with hardware failure modes

KZ-Tech LLC / K2Z BioMed | Owner-Operator, Electronics/Mechanical Technician

OtherTextData Collection

Collected highly structured ground-truth logs from component-level hardware failure analyses to document repair outcomes and failure modes. Produced measurement-based documentation (photos, measurements, parts lists, and repair notes) suitable for downstream training data or analysis. Focused on precise teardown and reassembly documentation for powered equipment and control boards. • Performed component-level hardware failure diagnostics and fault isolation • Documented failures with photos, measurements, and detailed repair notes • Compiled parts lists and repair documentation as ground-truth records • Sourced and certified refurbished medical/lab equipment for documented hardware state

CPR Cell Phone Repair | Franchisee & Senior Electronics Technician (hardware failure diagnostics)

Don't discloseTextData Collection

Created large volumes of structured, real-world repair records from micro-soldering and component-level fault isolation work on multi-layer PCBs. Documented diagnostics and rework processes tied to specific failure modes (e.g., cold joints, bridged pins) to support consistent ground-truth outcomes. Applied Lean Six Sigma methods to improve bench workflow and defect/throughput metrics that could inform quality datasets. • Performed BGA reflow, trace repair, and component-level fault isolation on thousands of devices • Read schematics and exploded views to plan teardowns and exact-spec reassembly documentation • Built standardized technician training work and ran KPI reviews to track defects • Produced repeatable diagnostic and repair documentation practices for hardware failure categories
