It helps researchers identify articles from publishers whose editorial and peer-review practices have attracted scrutiny—including MDPI and Frontiers—and checks Crossref/Retraction Watch records for formal notices such as retractions, corrections and expressions of concern. I define the evidence rules, privacy safeguards, ambiguity handling, false-positive boundaries and release tests. ### [Structured evaluation practice](https://mariomarcolongo.com/security) Repeated adversarial testing across instruction hierarchy, multimodal inputs, tool-use behavior and untrusted external context. ### [Investigation: evidence and interpretation](https://mariomarcolongo.com/integrity) Attributed public cases demonstrate source synthesis, privacy-policy analysis, corporate-source reconciliation, archive recovery, legal-stage chronology, source-quality auditing, scientific taxonomy design and explicit separation of evidence from inference. ## Capabilities **AI evaluation & adversarial testing**Exploratory adversarial testing, prompt and jailbreak analysis, multi-turn behavior, multimodal inputs, agentic tool-use and indirect prompt injection **Evaluation planning & reporting**Test planning, evidence capture, reproducibility notes, taxonomy thinking, issue classification, severity-oriented reporting and mitigation-retesting concepts **OSINT and research verification**Public-source and bibliographic research, claim decomposition, web-archive recovery, source-provenance analysis, corporate and legal record reconciliation, cross-source corroboration and reporting that separates evidence from inference **Technical delivery**Codebase reading and behavior inspection, requirements definition, functional testing, AI-assisted implementation, Git/GitHub, JSON, REST APIs, WordPress, Cloudflare Pages and AWS Lambda deployment **Multilingual quality and communication**Italian-native and English-C1 content review, English-to-Italian scientific localization, terminology consistency, source-faithful adaptation and clear evidence limitations for technical and non-technical audiences ## Best-fit role families - AI evaluation and adversarial testing - AI content red teaming and adversarial QA - Model behavior, trust & safety and policy testing - Human-data quality, grading and evaluation support ## Education & credentials - Information Technology — Open UAS Path Studies (120 ECTS) — Metropolia University of Applied Sciences, Aug 2026–Present; bachelor's-level ICT studies in software development, databases, Unix/Linux, data structures and algorithms, networking, cloud computing, cybersecurity and applied AI.
