Educational Flashcard Audit

Demonstrating systematic content refinement through atomic decomposition and quality assurance.

Raw LLM Output

Before

Question: What is the function of the Mitochondria?

Answer: The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell, responsible for ATP production, cellular respiration, and it also contains its own unique DNA and ribosomes which are inherited maternally.

3 issues detected: Used non-scientific cliche, violated atomic concept rule (combined 3 distinct facts), and included irrelevant trivia.

Audited Output

After

Card 1: What is the primary chemical energy molecule produced by the mitochondria?

Answer: ATP.

Card 2: Which two organelle-specific structures are found within the mitochondrial matrix?

Answer: DNA and ribosomes.

Aligned to Brainscape Standards: Atomic single-concept cards, high-fidelity terminology, and optimized for Confidence-Based Repetition.

Systematic AI Regression Testing

Current Role: Auditor at Tundra Technologies

Building comprehensive regression testing frameworks for AI systems. This repository contains methodologies and tools for systematic quality assurance of LLM outputs, ensuring consistent performance across model updates and prompt iterations. The framework enables reproducible testing scenarios that catch subtle degradations before they impact production systems.

// philosophy

Cognitive Load & Atomic Integrity

My work is grounded in cognitive science principles. Research shows that learning is most effective when information is presented in atomic, single-concept units. This reduces extraneous cognitive load and allows working memory to focus entirely on schema construction.

When auditing AI-generated content, I apply this principle rigorously. Each output must pass the atomic integrity test: Can this content be understood and recalled as a single, indivisible concept? If not, it requires decomposition.

This methodology has proven essential for educational technology, where the gap between information delivery and knowledge acquisition determines product success.
