@dismasmbuvi
AI Data Collection Specialist at CrowdGen / Appen, delivering accepted video and image datasets for computer vision.
What I'm looking for
At CrowdGen / Appen Projects, I collect and submit structured videos and images for AI fraud-detection and identity verification models. I use Appen Mobile and proprietary tools while following detailed client specifications.
Across multiple projects, I maintained a 100% acceptance rate by meeting requirements for uniqueness, framing, lighting, and metadata. My work also supported dataset diversity and reduced duplicate data.
Through Upwork & Fiverr, I delivered video recording, image labeling, bounding boxes, and dataset auditing for client projects involving object recognition and scene classification. I identified annotation errors and proposed guideline refinements.
At the University of Nairobi – School of Computing & Informatics, I assisted faculty-led research on computer vision datasets and bias reduction. I designed controlled data collection protocols and supported dataset cleaning and validation.
