AI Data Specialist and LLM Trainer advancing aligned, multimodal models for low-resource languages.
EthiopiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an AI Data Specialist / LLM Trainer with over 3 years of experience at Turing, contributing to the development of SOTA models for world-leading AI labs. I specialize in LLM alignment (RLHF), prompt engineering, agentic workflows, and multimodal reasoning, with a strong focus on reasoning quality, safety, and alignment with user intent.
I also bring production-minded execution through Python-based technical evaluation and validation, including generating and reviewing Python code for training logic, security, and PEP 8 adherence. Alongside my AI work, I’ve led software delivery as a Project Manager/Co-Founder—building an EMR system using Django, PostgreSQL, and React.js—while staying committed to advancing AI accessibility for low-resource languages (Amharic) through computer vision and NLP applications.
