AI Systems & Evaluation Engineer.

I design and evaluate AI systems, investigate model behavior and failures, and build reliable agentic workflows.

My background spans structural engineering, numerical software and enterprise systems. Today, I bring that experience to AI evaluation, interpretability and system reliability.

Areas of work

  • AI evaluation & reliability
  • Interpretability & model analysis
  • Agentic systems & workflows
  • Verification & governance controls
  • Scientific computing

    Same Dice, Different Geometry

    An investigation of how identical Dice scores can conceal different geometric structure and connectivity in segmentation, using controlled error families on expert retinal vessel annotations.

    Agent Reliability & Evaluation

    A process for accepting work from AI coding agents: bounded missions, deterministic checks, seeded contradictions and a separate evaluator agent that can veto. Its first system mission was rejected twice.

    Right Prediction, Wrong Reason

    An interactive, synthetic example of a model that is accurate for a fragile reason: swap a shortcut, compare two exact Shapley explanations and test a distribution shift.
