What I'm looking for

I seek roles focused on high-quality data annotation and QA within collaborative teams, leveraging my statistical skills to improve AI datasets and model performance.

I am an AI data specialist and annotator with strong grounding in statistics and programming, experienced in image, video, and text annotation for computer vision and NLP applications. I bring a disciplined, detail-oriented approach to labeling, quality assurance, and bias reduction to support reliable AI model training.

My professional work includes annotation roles at Toloka and RWS Group, where I apply project guidelines rigorously and conduct quality reviews to ensure dataset integrity. I also work as a freelance statistical academic writer, performing quantitative and qualitative research, data analysis, visualization, and report writing using tools like SPSS, STATA, SAS, R, SQL, and Excel.

I value integrity, accuracy, adaptability, perseverance, collaboration, and resilience, and I seek opportunities where I can combine my technical skills and statistical background to improve AI data quality and contribute to impactful projects.
