What I'm looking for

I seek a role focused on data annotation or data operations where I can apply labeling and QA skills, collaborate with teams, and grow professionally in a supportive, learning-focused environment.

I am a detail-oriented Data Annotation Specialist with hands-on experience labeling image, text, and video datasets using Labelbox, CVAT, and SuperAnnotate. I have a background in logistics data management, data entry, software internship experience, and digital freelancing, where I improved data quality and increased operational productivity.

I bring strong communication skills in English and Kiswahili, leadership experience managing a six-person production team, and technical skills in HTML, PHP, CSS, JavaScript, Microsoft Office, graphic design, and video editing. I am committed to accuracy, teamwork, and continuous learning to help organizations build better machine-learning datasets and maintain reliable data systems.
