PhD-Level Biologist & STEM SFT Prompt Freelancer | 5+ Years Innovation in R&D

Profile Summary

I’m a PhD-level biologist with over five years of hands-on R&D experience in molecular and cellular biology. I’ve partnered with academic labs and biotech startups to design experiments, analyze high-throughput data, and translate complex life-science insights into actionable strategies. I’ve expanded into AI-driven solutions, specializing in supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and prompt engineering for STEM applications—bringing biological domain knowledge to every model I help optimize. Key strengths: • Deep domain expertise. • End-to-end SFT workflows—data curation, annotation, evaluation, iterative prompt refinement. • Cross-platform fluency— Outlier, Mindrift and ALignerr. Whether you need tailored prompts to extract insights from biological literature, a fine-tuned model to assist with drug discovery pipelines, or a scalable SFT solution that accelerates your R&D, I deliver clear communication, reproducible code, and data-driven results. Let’s collaborate to turn your scientific questions into high-impact AI applications.
