AI Testing, Field Operations & Technical Research Contractor
I am a versatile field and technical contractor experienced in AI testing, research, hardware projects, field operations, and hands-on problem solving. I can independently follow complex instructions, investigate unusual issues, document findings, test products and workflows, and provide reliable human-in-the-loop support for AI-assisted systems. My technical work includes evaluating AI systems, RAG architectures, agent workflows, prompt behavior, multimodal tools, automation, and human-AI collaboration. I also build and test experimental Raspberry Pi, robotics, sensor, camera, microphone, RF, Linux, and hardware-integration projects. I bring practical experience in observation, navigation, situational assessment, reporting, route planning, field documentation, and work in demanding environments. I have also served in local government, handling public meetings, constituent issues, policy review, budgeting oversight, and community problem solving. I am available for site visits, field verification, local errands, equipment and prototype testing, photography and documentation, research assistance, data collection, technical setup, troubleshooting, software testing, AI training and evaluation, writing, and other one-off assignments requiring a capable person on location.
