  • Hands-on experience designing multi-tier intent routing and training classifiers for high-accuracy task allocation.
  • Experience building structured dialogue evaluation frameworks (automatic metrics, LLM-as-judge, human review systems, etc.).
  • Strong experience driving automated bad-case discovery, logging systems, experiment design, and A/B testing frameworks.
