What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can drive high-accuracy data labeling with strong QA/QC, collaborate with Data Science/Engineering, and keep improving workflows using tools like CVAT and Superannote.

I’m a detail-oriented Data Annotation Specialist with over 1 year of experience in high-volume data labelling and quality assurance. I help teams turn complex image and video data into reliable labels that support machine learning models.

In my current role, I utilise CVAT and Superannote to precisely locate, label, and tag various elements within large-scale image and video datasets. I collaborate directly with Data Science and Engineering teams to provide feedback on custom labelling software and to improve labeling efficiency.

I also serve as a mentor for junior annotators, training on complex project guidelines and running rigorous QA sessions. I evaluate productivity metrics to identify bottlenecks and implement process improvements that ensure timely delivery of high-quality data.

Previously, I worked as a Data Specialist / Office Assistant, managing daily tasks and data entry using Outlook and Microsoft Office 365. I communicated with diverse teams via Slack and video conferencing to maintain project alignment, accuracy, and guideline compliance.
