• Modelled human assessment workflows through multi-step pipelines, enabling consistent analysis at scale and reducing manual review time by >70%.
• Built an evaluation framework combining automated and human-in-the-loop assessment to ensure accuracy, citation grounding, and reliability in production.
• Instrumented the pipeline for usage, cost, and latency tracking to drive ongoing performance optimisation.
