What I'm looking for

I seek opportunities that foster growth, collaboration, and innovation in data-driven projects.

I am a dedicated Data Annotation Specialist currently working remotely for Aya Data, where I contribute to innovative AI and machine learning projects. My journey in data annotation began at Lish AI Labs, where I honed my skills in developing training materials and ensuring quality control. I take pride in my ability to maintain high standards of accuracy and efficiency in data processing, which is crucial for the success of machine learning algorithms.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated strong problem-solving abilities and a keen eye for detail. I thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with data scientists and project managers to meet project goals. My experience includes training and mentoring junior annotators, streamlining annotation processes, and providing constructive feedback to enhance workflows. I am committed to continuous learning and professional development, as evidenced by my ongoing education in procurement and supply chain management.
