What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my data annotation skills in innovative AI projects, with a focus on collaboration and continuous learning.

I am an experienced and detail-driven Data Annotation Specialist with a strong background in data labeling for AI and machine learning models. Currently, I work at CloudFactory, where I contribute to high-impact annotation projects across various sectors, including agriculture, healthcare, and e-commerce. My proficiency in various labeling tools and my understanding of QA processes allow me to bring precision and consistency to every project I support.

Previously, I worked at Sama (formerly Samasource), where I specialized in annotating images and videos for major AI clients. My contributions led to significant improvements in model accuracy, and I was recognized as a project lead annotator for high-priority client projects. I am passionate about maintaining data integrity and ensuring high-quality outputs in all my endeavors.
