What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my skills in AI evaluation and annotation, ideally in a collaborative environment that values quality and innovation.

I am a meticulous and language-savvy professional with over six years of experience in AI content evaluation, annotation, and linguistic analysis. My expertise lies in reviewing AI-generated outputs for clarity, accuracy, and relevance, ensuring the highest quality data for machine learning improvements. I have successfully evaluated over 10,000 AI text pairs, providing structured feedback and collaborating with cross-functional teams to refine evaluation criteria.

My background includes working as a Data Annotation Specialist, where I conducted large-scale text and image annotation projects to support natural language understanding and computer vision applications. I thrive in high-volume, guideline-driven environments, maintaining consistency and implementing internal quality reviews. With strong reading comprehension and native-level English fluency, I am highly adaptable and comfortable working with sensitive or nuanced material.
