Handshake AI Fellow | Remote | Oct 2025 – Present

I evaluated LLM outputs to identify bias, hallucinations, and reasoning gaps, contributing insights that helped improve model reliability and alignment. I also worked closely with researchers to refine model behavior through annotation, prompt engineering, and failure mode analysis to support safer AI development.

I investigate and respond to 75+ monthly phishing and suspicious email reports using Microsoft Defender to identify and mitigate threats across the university.
