Senior multimodal data annotator delivering human-aligned AI training data.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Data Annotator and Multimodal AI specialist with 4 years of intensive experience shaping the future of AI. I bring a zero-error mindset and have delivered high-velocity, human-in-the-loop labeling across image, video, text, and audio. Whether it’s complex visual grounding or careful language enrichment, I focus on meticulous data enrichment that developers can trust.
In my work, I annotate and refine high-impact training data—building 2D/3D bounding boxes, semantic segmentation, and frame-by-frame tracking for computer vision; performing entity tagging, sentiment classification, and key phrase extraction for NLP; and completing accurate transcription, speaker identification, and sound event labeling for speech systems. I consistently maintain top-performer quality through self-auditing, edge-case identification, and strong tool adaptability across platforms like Labelbox, CVAT, and Prodigy.
