My Projects

Math Academy — Problem & Lesson Design

Jan 2025 – Present · Contract · Remote

Design and develop lessons, questions, and learning tasks (projects and coding exercises), with scaffolding chosen to keep cognitive load manageable.

• Lesson sequences and problem sets across discrete math and related courses
• Projects and coding exercises as learning tasks
• LaTeX (and TikZ) for precise mathematical presentation

Mercor — Math & STEM Expert Roles

Dec 2025 – Present · California · Remote

Multiple contracts spanning FrontierMath annotation, olympiad and graduate-level problem writing, LaTeX OCR QA, and rubric-based model evaluation.

• STEM Expert (Apr 2026 – Present): model response comparison and rubric-based grading
• Math Intelligence Expert (Apr–May 2026): competitive math problems for frontier models
• OCR QA LaTeX (Mar–Apr 2026): validated OCR-extracted LaTeX; corrected statements and solutions
• Math Intelligence Expert (Feb–Mar 2026): graduate probability theory and olympiad tasks
• FrontierMath Annotator (Dec 2025 – Feb 2026): designed and reviewed IMO–FrontierMath problems; later served as reviewer
