What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration and offers opportunities for growth in data management and project coordination.

I am a dedicated Lead Annotator with three years of experience in managing projects that generate training datasets for Machine Learning Algorithms. My role involves coordinating a workforce team of 25 subcontractors, ensuring that the distribution of datasets is efficient and that all work is completed accurately and on time.

With six years of experience in various annotation projects, I possess a unique blend of technical and interpersonal skills. I excel in both the technical aspects of my role and in human relations, which is crucial for effective team management. My ability to communicate effectively and build strong relationships with team members has been key to my success in leading diverse teams.
