What I'm looking for

I seek roles focused on AI data annotation and LLM evaluation with strong QA processes, clear guidelines, and opportunities to improve model performance and dataset integrity.

I am a Detail-oriented AI Data Specialist with a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology and hands-on experience in data annotation, quality assurance, and LLM evaluation. I combine technical troubleshooting experience with domain knowledge in customer service and software/hardware evaluation to produce reliable training data.

At Alignerr and Outlier AI I reviewed multi-turn conversations, designed stress tests to expose model breakdowns, and authored golden responses and precise failure justifications. I edited and refined rubrics for clarity and verifiability and applied objective decision frameworks to rate model outputs.

Previously, I provided technical support and training — achieving a 90% first-contact resolution rate and reducing repeat service calls by 60% — and led virtual training programs for technicians while producing documentation and workflow guides that improved knowledge transfer.

I bring disciplined QA practices, experience with annotation platforms such as Labelbox, and strong attention to guideline adherence and data quality. I am goal-focused, process-oriented, and committed to producing high-integrity datasets that improve model performance.
