KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I am an AI & Data Operations specialist with practical experience supporting machine learning and document intelligence projects for global companies including Meta and OpenAI. I focus on data annotation, transcription, and NLP-based quality assurance to improve model accuracy and contextual understanding.
My work includes annotating and structuring multilingual datasets, reviewing layout-based AI outputs, and evaluating LLM-generated responses for clarity and factual precision. I collaborate with ML engineers to optimize text normalization, data pipelines, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) evaluation.
I bring strong Python skills (Pandas, NumPy, SpaCy) and hands-on familiarity with LayoutLM, Donut, DocFormer, OCR tools, and labeling platforms. I document annotation guidelines, automate QA processes, and prioritize detail-oriented, research-driven approaches to building reliable AI systems.
