I build benchmarks for generative AI: the data, the pipelines, and the controls.

Right now: the generation and evaluation pipeline for MIRAGE, a benchmark for copyrighted reuse in AI-generated music, and SPECTRA, a video-generation benchmark I lead. This little town is my portfolio. Every building is a section.
