I’m a data labeling and content moderation specialist improving AI training quality.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Data Labeling Specialist with 4+ years of experience supporting AI and machine learning operations. I focus on high-accuracy video categorization, content moderation, and training data production for globally recognized platforms.
At Thoth AI, I label and classify video content for AI monitoring and model training, consistently exceeding daily labeling quotas to improve delivery timelines. I also run calibration sessions with internal teams and client stakeholders, then identify quality issues, perform root cause analysis, and share actionable recommendations to project managers.
Previously, I worked as a Data Labeling Specialist & Project Coordinator with PixlDATA AI, where I labeled and annotated large-scale datasets and achieved a 98%+ consistency rate. I collaborated cross-functionally with product and engineering teams to improve labeling workflows, while supporting client onboarding, communication, and request management.
Earlier, I served as a Content Safety Moderator at Kuaishou Technology, reviewing and assessing Turkish-market content against platform policies and contributing labeled data and structured feedback workflows for AI model development. I bring strong discipline from remote work and also value user-focused thinking from building and scaling my own digital product store.
