What I'm looking for

I designed scoring rubrics that raised inter-annotator agreement from 78% to 92%, and red-teamed chat models across 12 harm categories.
At Fintech Startup, I built an NLP ticket classifier and fine-tuned a transformer for fraud-related text detection. Earlier, as Data Annotation Team Lead at AI Services Company, I led 25 annotators and introduced peer review that reduced rework by 35%; my work also includes evaluation sets and models for Nigerian Pidgin, Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa.
