DataAnnotation.tech

DataAnnotation.tech is a platform that contracts projects to workers (like me) to generate data in different domains for frontier AI labs. I work in both the coding and math domains.

I evaluate model-generated code, PR diffs, and multi-step coding-agent trajectories across many different programming languages and open source projects, checking both final outputs and intermediate reasoning steps to produce labels used for reward model training. I write rationale notes explaining bugs and reasoning errors, verify code correctness using Docker-based test harnesses, and help identify patterns like reward hacking. I also work with research scientists to refine grading rubrics and mentor other raters to keep labeling quality consistent.

Mathnasium of Monterey

The Mathnasium of Monterey is a franchise of the larger Mathnasium corporation. It is a privately owned math tutoring organization for students k-12+ (competes with Kumon).

I taught K-12 students math, did admin work scheduling and registering students, created monthly newsletters, and planned curriculums. While here I built a system with Python and Anthropic's API (later updating to MLFlow and LangChain) that automated the creation of personalized report cards. This was a process that usually took 15+ hours of manual work going through each students progress. Automating it saved hundreds of dollars of labor per month.

Graduation!

I graduated with a BSc in Computer Science and Engineering and a BSc in Mathematics from the University of California, Santa Cruz.

My two favorite classes were Distributed Systems and Perturbation Theory.

Dreamgifts.co

Dreamgifts.co is an adult-focused platform for content creators to allow their followers to buy them items from their wishlists without exposing their addresses.

I worked as both a content reviewer (for terms violations) and a developer. It was a typescript monorepo created with React. I fixed browser-based issues where rendering was notably different (this was a problem with context stacking at the time), and working on the auth and dashboard pages. I added a new flow that allowed content reviewers to see a more full picture (showing an applicant's details in full with an approve/reject with notes) of an applicant's profile.

University of California, Santa Cruz

I was hired to work on an app commisioned by the student body to help promote on-campus opportunities (think fairs, clubs, workshops). I worked with another student-turned-employee to build the app, and we took it to completion, launching SlugLink. We garnered ~1000 student signups and recruited all of the student-led clubs, but due to a lack of funding shut down the following year.

We bootstrapped the backend with Firebase, working on creating a SSO auth integrated with the school's system. We focused most of our effort on creating a realtime feed with geotagged posts from on campus clubs and events. I completely built and owned the CI build system.

Zeus Living (YC S11)

Zeus Living was a startup focused on corporate and longer-stay housing rentals. Think Airbnb but for corporate stays.

I worked on building the in-house customer service software, building React components and updating the customer tickets workflow for our support engineers. I migrated schemas and updated the Ruby-based SSR. My changes were able to shave off a good amount of time for ticket response latency.
