AI Engineer

Outlier AI · Agent Evaluation / OpenClaw

Contributed to the rigorous evaluation of frontier multimodal agents on OpenClaw by engineering adversarial, production-grade user scenarios across heterogeneous data ecosystems—including users, messages, emails, contacts, FinTrack, Strava, Notion, and many other sources. Acting as the end user, I crafted deceptively simple prompts that forced agents to resolve ambiguity, cross-reference conflicting signals, and fuse structured database state with multimodal evidence (PDFs, images, videos, and audio) under strict correctness constraints. I audited every requirement and deliverable with fine-grained rubrics across models such as Claude Opus 5, OpenAI GPT-5, and Gemini 3.1 Pro, isolating failure modes and producing high-signal datasets of successful and failed trajectories that clients use to retrain and harden models on OpenClaw.

Outlier AI · Agent Evaluation & MCP Tooling

Evaluated and enhanced autonomous AI agents operating within tool-integrated environments (MCP systems), including file systems, Git, databases, mapping tools, and code execution frameworks. I designed adversarial and high-difficulty scenarios to identify reasoning breakdowns, trajectory failures, and tool misuse. For each failure, I engineered the ideal execution pathway, corrected outputs, and developed structured rubrics to systematically improve performance. This work significantly increased agent robustness, task completion reliability, and multi-tool reasoning coherence.

    Outlier AI · LLM Evaluation for Data Science Workflows

    Contributed to the improvement of LLMs in data science workflows. I designed complex tasks involving large-scale datasets that required precise coding, statistical operations, and high-fidelity visualizations. After prompting LLMs to generate solutions, I evaluated their outputs using structured rubrics, identifying logical gaps, implementation errors, and deviations from constraints. When models failed, I produced an ideal, step-by-step reasoning and implementation path the model should follow to get the correct response (numerical outputs and visualizations), ensuring strict adherence to requirements.

    Outlier AI · Autonomous Build & Debugging Agents

    Contributed to the refinement of AI agents responsible for diagnosing failed software builds and broken repositories. The agents analyzed execution logs, dependency errors, and test failures to determine root causes and implement corrective patches. When the agent's reasoning diverged from best practices or when failed to solve the problem, I reconstructed the correct debugging trajectory, improved scripts, reinforced unit and custom test validation, and ensured successful rebuilds. This role required deep understanding of CI/CD workflows, repository architecture, and automated debugging methodologies.
