  • Gen AI Prompt Engineering & Response Validation: Outlier

    Outlier

    Gen AI Prompt Analyser | Remote | Sep 2023 – Present

    1. Refining the Frontier of Intelligence

    As an AI Prompt Analyser, I work at the intersection of linguistic nuance and machine learning, ensuring model outputs are safe, factual, and optimally aligned.

    • Response Ranking: Critically analysed and ranked model responses based on rigorous metrics of factuality, relevance, and semantic accuracy.
    • Iterative Prompt Engineering: Wrote and rewrote complex prompts to pressure-test model limitations and identify paths for alignment and safety improvements.
    • Fact-Checking & Research: Conducted deep research to verify the accuracy of AI-generated content, mitigating hallucination risks and strengthening reliability.

  • Technical Documentation for the Machinery Industry: My Time at Technolab

    Technolab

    Technical Documentation Specialist | Mar 2024 – Present

    1. The Mission: Bridging Engineering and Communication

    Joined in March 2024, my role at Technolab (a specialised technical communication agency) was to act as the primary link between complex engineering systems and the end-users who operate them.

    • Objective: Transform high-level technical specifications into clear, intuitive, and safety-compliant manuals.
    • Focus: Industrial machinery, automation systems, and consumer appliances across the EU and UK markets.

    2. Key Achievements & Impact

    30% Process Optimisation

    Within my first four months, I implemented a new methodology for content creation and editing that slashed project turnaround times by 30% while actually increasing the accuracy of the technical data.

    ⚖️ Regulatory Champion

    Ensured every manual complied strictly with the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and Health & Safety regulations, safeguarding both the company and the user.

    Multilingual Management

    Managed the production and localisation of instructional content in both English and Italian, maintaining a consistent voice across different languages.

    3. The Technical Approach (The “How”)

    I didn’t just write text; I designed the information. My workflow included:

    3D Visual Documentation

    Leveraging SolidWorks Composer and Adobe Illustrator to create exploded-view drawings and 3D product visualisations. This reduced user reliance on text and made troubleshooting more visual.

    Data-Driven Authoring

    Using proprietary Technical Data Management Systems (TDMS/EDMS) to manage complex product layouts and ensure editorial standards were met at scale.

    Collaborative Interfacing

    Frequent deep dives with Engineers and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to translate raw technical data into “consumer-friendly” language.

    4. The Toolkit Used

    • Authoring: Adobe InDesign, MS Word, FrameMaker, Markdown
    • Visuals: Adobe Illustrator, Solidworks Composer, Acrobat Pro
    • Management: TDMS, CCMS platforms, Jira for project tracking
