Arcelle Balba
@arcellebalba
I train AI with English, Filipino, and Japanese data while bringing culinary and language-teaching precision.
What I'm looking for
I evaluate, translate, and label English and Filipino datasets for RWS (Moravia IT s.r.o), helping train and optimize AI and large language models. I also bring Japanese image annotation, transcription, and translation experience from Pactera Technologies.
I've developed comprehensive Japanese language and cultural lesson plans for JLPT N5 and N4 students at Shouri Training Center Inc. My work across the Philippines, Japan, Singapore, and the Czech Republic has strengthened my cross-cultural communication and attention to detail.
Alongside technology and education, I manage freelance pastry and cake-decoration work for PIPERS PH, creating high-end custom-tiered cakes for special events. I previously managed cafe operations, catering logistics, inventory, staff, and custom pastry design at Aftertaste Cafe.
My background in caregiving, administration, food service, and field marketing helps me adapt to detailed guidelines, support people thoughtfully, and deliver high-quality work across diverse industries.
