What I'm looking for

I am seeking an AI training role where I can apply my expertise in preparing high-quality ML datasets, annotation, and pattern recognition within a collaborative, research-driven environment that values independence and practical AI impact.

I am a solar cartographer and solar physicist with over a decade of data-driven research experience and a strong focus on AI and machine learning data preparation. I pioneered a digital solar cartography workflow that combined Photoshop and custom code to produce machine learning-ready datasets, streamlined processing, and supported multiple publications and international presentations.

I have three years of hands-on data annotation experience and a history of authoring peer-reviewed research and presenting at prestigious conferences. I seek an AI training position where I can apply my expertise in data annotation, dataset synthesis, critical pattern recognition, and independent, remote work to improve model training and contribute to intelligent systems development.
