BRYSON WEKESA
@brysonwekesa
I moderate online communities and label high-quality AI training data for safer, stronger digital platforms.
What I'm looking for
I've moderated high-traffic online communities for TELUS International, Keywords Studios, LiveWorld, and ModSquad, helping create safe, healthy digital spaces for global users.
At TELUS International, I collaborated with Trust & Safety teams to refine Community Guidelines, contributing to a 20% decrease in repeat policy violations. I also mentored junior moderators and handled sensitive escalations with attention to retention and brand safety.
At Keywords Studios and LiveWorld, I moderated text, images, livestreams, and large digital events, managed emergency red alerts, supported users with platform access, and configured moderation bots. My reporting on toxicity trends and keyword frequency helped improve automated filtering systems.
Alongside community work, I've annotated more than 5,000 image and text datasets monthly for AI models, maintaining 98% accuracy through rigorous quality checks. I work with LabelStudio, Prodigy, CVAT, Appen platforms, Slack, Telegram, Zendesk, Discord, and Intercom.
