ABOUT JOHN EKAM
I am a Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) AI evaluator with experience in LLM output evaluation, rubric-based scoring, secondary QA, and calibration across instruction-following and reasoning tasks. I deliver consistent high-quality evaluation outcomes (90–95%) in rubric-driven, NDA-bound environments. I bring 14+ years of frontline supervision and project execution in safety-critical oil & gas and manufacturing environments, enabling disciplined judgment, procedural rigor, and delivery under risk. I operate independently in remote, asynchronous teams.I am also a PhD researcher at the University of Port Harcourt, focusing on energy-related research, with growing interest in AI-augmented analysis and decision systems.You can find my portfolio in my contact info.
