What I'm looking for

I’m looking for accuracy-driven AI projects where I can annotate, validate, and translate high-quality data. I want collaborative teams, clear guidelines, and opportunities to grow in medical AI and NLP through continuous learning.

I’m a detail-oriented AI data annotator and translator with a medical doctor background, focused on transforming complex information into accurate, high-quality datasets. I combine analytical thinking, discipline, and problem-solving with strict quality standards to support language-processing and AI model training.

In my annotation work, I review and categorize visual data—especially medical and healthcare-related content—while following detailed project guidelines. I perform data labeling, classification, and content validation to improve dataset reliability and optimize AI system performance.

I also support multilingual technology needs through translation, localization, and transcription, working from English to Amharic and English to Afaan-Oromo. I maintain consistency and confidentiality while handling sensitive content and large volumes of data.

Alongside tech work, I provide patient care as a general practitioner across outpatient, inpatient, and emergency settings. I coordinate effectively in high-pressure environments, educate patients and families, and lead clinical teaching sessions—skills I bring into technology-driven, accuracy-critical teams.
