I'm Alexander Brittain.

During my time at the University of Texas at Austin, I have developed a strong understanding of the intersection between business and technology. I honed my technical skills in SQL, Python, and C#, and enhanced my teamwork abilities through collaborative projects. This combination of technical expertise and collaborative experience enables me to effectively tackle complex organizational challenges and work well within a team.

• Maintain, enhance, and resolve issues within critical internal applications, including essential legacy systems and various web-based tools, ensuring their continued functionality and alignment with business needs.
• Provide direct technical support to internal departments by troubleshooting application errors, investigating data discrepancies, and performing necessary resolutions using SQL database tools.
• Actively contribute to modernization efforts by participating in the development of new backend services and APIs utilizing contemporary frameworks (e.g., .NET).
• Manage data integrations between key business systems, ensuring smooth information flow and addressing synchronization issues as they arise.

• Critically assessed complex AI outputs in coding, mathematics, and reasoning, rigorously verifying correctness, logical soundness, and strict adherence to instructions to uphold high-quality model performance standards.
• Generated critical human feedback data for Reinforcement Learning (RLHF) by meticulously evaluating, comparing, and ranking AI responses, directly guiding model training towards improved helpfulness, honesty, and safety.
• Applied comprehensive programming expertise (Python, C/C++, Bash, TypeScript, etc.) to rigorously test, debug, and verify the functional correctness, efficiency, and security of AI-generated code across diverse languages and paradigms.
• Utilized deep working knowledge of large language model (LLM) capabilities, limitations, and core AI concepts to design effective evaluation strategies and perform nuanced, insightful assessments of model behavior and outputs.

• Ensured a safe environment for an average of 6,500 daily visitors by conducting hourly safety checks and coordinating with multiple departments.
• Managed detailed logs using Microsoft Word and communicated updates via Outlook, demonstrating strong organizational and communication skills.
• Delivered exceptional customer service at the hospitality desk by assisting visitors with directions, tasks, and safety measures, including distributing masks and self-test kits.
• Enhanced my ability to prioritize safety and multitask effectively in a high-traffic environment.
