FinlandWhat I'm looking for
I am a multidisciplinary professional with experience in data annotation for machine learning, massage therapy, and web/IT support, bringing practical problem-solving and client-focused service to every role.
I have contributed to transcription ML and prompt-generation projects at Centific Global Solutions, managed my own massage therapy and website development business (Jqs/Fysiosivut), and provided IT support and HVAC installation work earlier in my career.
I hold a professional qualification in massage therapy from Gradia and pursued university-level mathematics; I communicate fluently in Finnish, and in English at an intermediate level, and I am open to roles that combine technical annotation work, client-facing services, and small-business operations.
