What I'm looking for

I seek remote or hybrid roles where I can apply rigorous annotation and QA expertise, improve workflows, and contribute to trustworthy AI development while working autonomously and meeting tight deadlines.

I am a highly accurate data annotator with specialized experience in video analysis and linguistic coding, grounded in advanced study of Cognitive Science and Digital Humanities. I have led practical improvements to annotation workflows—developing visual guides and documentation that reduced inter-rater disagreement and senior review needs while improving quality and consistency.

I work independently in asynchronous and remote settings, consistently meeting tight deadlines and high throughput demands. My experience includes evaluating thousands of user-generated videos, applying dynamic policy guidance, and maintaining rigorous data security and QA practices to support next-generation AI model development.
