Former academic with a PhD in Information Science at the intersection of philosophy and musicology.
For the last 15 years I have studied belief systems, symbolic cognition, aesthetic structures, and the philosophy of interpretation—first in academia, now for frontier AI models. Leveraged PhD research in information theory and music semiotics for AI data labeling, including audio-text alignment and ethical red-teaming. Applied symbolic cognition to DeFi protocol analysis, informing AI ethics in decentralized systems.
┈
I specialize in high-depth multimodal and ethical annotation: • metaphysics, ideology critique, ritual, metaphor • music semiotics, aesthetic reasoning, symbolic systems • cultural datasets, emotion labelling, audio-text alignment
Comfortable with complex reasoning traces, red-teaming, prompt evaluation, and data curation in philosophy, arts, and humanities domains.
┈
Also a DeFi native (Aave power user since 2021, currently managing an over-collateralized position), UT Austin coding bootcamp 2023 graduate, and lifelong classical guitarist.
┈
Available for remote-only, flexible expert work: – AI training / annotation (humanities & multimodal) – AI ethics & safety evaluation – crypto/DeFi tech writing or specialist support
Prefer async, no-meeting roles. Rate $40–70/hr depending on complexity.
Currently reading Plotinus and teaching one remaining classical-guitar student who found me by synchronicity.
Open to interesting projects. DMs welcome.
