What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an AI Data Specialist role where I can apply guideline-driven annotation, pairwise evaluation, and QA to produce consistent, high-accuracy datasets—and support high-quality AI development.

I’m an AI Data Specialist-in-training and a detail-oriented medical student with a strong foundation in research, information evaluation, and structured data analysis. I bring a quality-first mindset to AI data annotation, data evaluation, and quality assurance.

I’ve completed hands-on annotation and evaluation projects, annotating 500+ image and text samples and tagging/labeling 300+ objects across multiple content types. I also completed 150+ pairwise comparison tasks, assessing AI-generated responses for relevance, factual accuracy, consistency, and overall quality.

To protect dataset reliability, I conduct quality assurance reviews on 200+ annotated samples and apply data classification and validation techniques to keep annotations accurate and consistent. I document my decisions, revisions, and evaluation records to support clear, repeatable work.

I’m seeking an AI Data Specialist role where I can apply my analytical skills, Oromo/English/Swahili language capability, and structured evaluation experience to support high-quality AI development with consistent, guideline-following output.
