Chan'Tavia Lawson
@chantavialawson
AI Data Quality specialist improving LLM performance through annotation, evaluation, and process optimization.
What I'm looking for
I am an AI Data Quality professional with 4+ years of experience training, evaluating, and improving large language models and machine learning systems. I combine hands-on annotation and rubric-driven evaluation with operational rigor to deliver measurable model improvements.
I have owned end-to-end QA for large-scale ML training datasets, authored annotation guidelines adopted across project teams, and resolved complex edge cases that improved ingestion pipeline quality. I also coach contributors, produce QA content with strict SLAs, and apply SQL and data analysis to inform process improvements.
My background spans AI/ML training, design tools, and cross-functional operations; I seek a full-time remote role where I can contribute as a core team member and drive quality outcomes across model development pipelines.
