What I'm looking for
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.

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.
