Focused projects

Work on a focused project

If your team already has AI or LLM features in production, I help turn quality checks into a repeatable evaluation process. You can make release decisions faster, spend less time testing by hand, and spot problems before they reach customers.

Does any of this sound familiar?

  • Checking AI outputs by hand takes up too much of your team’s week, and each new feature adds more work.
  • Releases stall because the scores you track don’t tell you whether a change is ready to ship.
  • Even with capable people and evaluation tools in place, you can’t tell which changes are improving the product.

AI evaluation advisory

Over roughly eight weeks, I work alongside your team to:

  • Find patterns in your product’s errors and decide what to fix first
  • Define evaluations tailored to your application
  • Review how you measure quality and run experiments
  • Pinpoint what’s slowing your team’s testing and improvement cycle

Your team leaves with documented evaluation designs, clear quality measures, and a prioritized plan for putting them into day-to-day development.
