What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster collaboration and innovation in AI projects.

I am a Data Annotation Specialist with over 2 years of experience in video and audio transcription, AI training datasets, and quality assurance auditing. My work has consistently achieved a remarkable 99% accuracy across more than 100 hours of content, significantly boosting AI model performance by 15%. I thrive in fast-paced, remote environments and excel at collaborating with linguists and data scientists to refine labeling criteria and align annotations with project goals.

In my current role at micro1, I have successfully reduced project turnaround time by 30% using Super Annotate, ensuring the delivery of over 50 weekly projects. My previous experience includes working as an Audio Data Annotator Specialist at Oneforma, where I achieved 98% accuracy in linguistic labeling while processing over 300 daily transcription hits. I am passionate about optimizing workflows and delivering high-impact results, and I take pride in mentoring junior annotators to enhance team productivity.
