Barış Sabuncular

I am a Turkish/English language specialist and linguistic QA practitioner with hands-on experience in rubric-based evaluation, prompt testing, and evidence-backed justifications. I combine strong knowledge of Turkish morphology and orthography with practical QA workflows to ensure accurate, culturally appropriate outputs.

Across teaching and research roles, I designed and applied rubrics, produced concise measurable feedback, and developed mini style guides to teach register and tone differences. I have built small Python NLP utilities and a multi-API conversational bot that include modular connectors, routing logic, and a rubric-based evaluation harness.

My work emphasizes consistent labeling, reproducible error traces, and clear documentation using tools like Label Studio, Google Sheets/Docs/Slides, Notion, and CMS migration workflows. I also supported research tasks such as literature reviews, TR/EN text annotation, and data preparation (Sheets/SPSS/CSV).

I seek opportunities where I can apply linguistic expertise, evaluation design, and prompt/variant testing to improve language model outputs and localization quality while collaborating on practical tooling and clear, outcome-focused reporting.
