What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an AI/data operations role where I can structure and validate datasets, improve model accuracy in Azure OpenAI/Azure ML, and partner cross-functionally to ship dependable speech, image, and text solutions.

I’m an AI/Data Operations Specialist who builds reliable ML inputs—training datasets, labels, and evaluation loops—to improve speech, image, and text recognition outcomes. I also run an Etsy-based e-commerce store, handling SEO-optimized listings, market research, analytics, and customer communication to keep operations sharp and data-driven.

At Microsoft in Lisbon, I worked as an AI Data Annotation Coordinator, training NLP LLMs on labeled speech signals and images to enable products that recognize new, unseen inputs. I contributed to Azure Machine Learning via prompt extraction flow improvements, helped advance predictive analytics across 11,000+ organizations in 2023, and moderated personal business data and harmful content under strict Microsoft 365 Information Protection and worldwide safety regulations.

Before that, I supported Expedia/Hotels.com as Customer Support Rep, resolving booking issues, troubleshooting flows, and identifying recurring customer patterns. I also spent 3+ years as a Content Manager & SEO Editor across 3 companies—recruiting and managing freelance writers, standardizing content guidelines/templates, and coordinating multilingual production through CMS publication.

My projects connect operations with applied ML: I automated invoice parsing using Google Cloud Document AI (invoice field annotation with an F1 score of 0.93), built AI-driven financial reporting automation as a Business Analyst & Product Owner, and delivered “My Feedback Coach” for the Microsoft Global Hackathon by preparing data, developing and evaluating models in Azure Machine Learning, designing prompt strategies with Azure OpenAI, and deploying an endpoint in Azure ML—earning “2023 Award Winner.”
