@danielmakanga
Detail-oriented data specialist skilled in image/video annotation and remote monitoring.
What I'm looking for
I am a tech-savvy data specialist with hands-on experience in image and video annotation, data entry, and real-time customer-facing roles. I combine accuracy, adherence to SOPs, and a strong ethic for confidentiality when handling sensitive information.
At Cloudfatory Kenya Limited, I personally annotated and tracked multiple sports datasets, applying rigorous validation and quality checks to ensure consistent labelling and minimize errors and rework. Skilled at leveraging web-based tools and dashboards to manage and retrieve information effectively.
My frontline experience as a taxi driver and waiter enhanced my situational awareness, honed my customer service skills, and developed my ability to deliver dependable performance in high-pressure environments and during rotating shifts. I excel at producing clear, accurate documentation and consistently following structured workflows in remote monitoring environments.
I seek roles that leverage my attention to visual detail, ability to sustain focus during repetitive tasks, and commitment to data quality—particularly in online data annotation, remote CCTV monitoring, and related data operations.
