What I'm looking for

I seek remote roles in data annotation or QA where I can apply rigorous labeling standards, collaborate with international teams, and support scalable AI/ML projects while growing into project management.

I am a detail-oriented data annotation specialist with over 10 years of experience in data labeling, freelance digital support, and insurance sales. I have labeled text, image, audio, and video datasets for NLP, computer vision, and speech recognition projects, delivering more than 10,000 annotations at a 98% accuracy rate.

I am skilled with tools including Labelbox, CVAT, SuperAnnotate and LabelImg, and I routinely perform peer reviews and quality assurance to maintain dataset consistency. I have strong remote collaboration experience using platforms such as OpenTrain.ai, Appen, Scale AI, Slack, Trello, Jira and Asana.

I bring project management discipline from an MBA and certifications in project management and insurance, plus proven client-relationship and sales experience from leadership roles in insurance across Kenya and Uganda. I am remote-work ready and passionate about AI, data science, and scalable, accurate annotation delivery.
