PROFILE

Nevan Wichers

Worked on the safety-research/safety-tooling repository, delivering two backend features over two months focused on fine-tuning workflows and moderation API flexibility. Enhanced the Together AI fine-tuning integration by parameterizing evaluation runs, centralizing WANDB usage, and improving environment configuration, all implemented in Python with attention to configuration management and logging. Refactored logging to remove local wandb dependencies and updated environment guidance for smoother developer onboarding. In a separate feature, introduced customizable base URL support for the OpenAI Moderation API, enabling routing to self-hosted endpoints and improving deployment flexibility. Demonstrated skills in API integration, backend development, and fine-tuning workflow optimization.
