What I'm looking for

I'm seeking roles building scalable cloud data architectures and multimodal pipelines (AWS, PySpark, Kafka), where I can apply generative AI, cultural analysis, and instructional experience to drive impactful, ethical AI products.

I'm a Data Science graduate with hands-on experience in Big Data engineering, multimodal video annotation, and generative AI projects. I combine programming skills in Python, Java, and R with practical experience using Apache Kafka and PySpark to build data ingestion and processing workflows that support real-time video streams.

As a freelance Video Annotation Specialist, I design structured, multi-field annotations with attention to cultural context, rubric-based evaluation, and prompt engineering to improve AI output quality. I also teach Big Data and AI-in-Healthcare topics, which has strengthened my ability to communicate complex concepts to technical and non-technical learners.

I'm driven to design cloud data architectures (AWS) and leverage big data tooling to create scalable, multimodal datasets that enhance video understanding and generative models. I seek opportunities where I can apply my technical skills and cultural-analysis expertise to deliver meaningful, data-driven impact.
