What I'm looking for

I seek remote roles focused on dataset annotation, QA, and evaluation with clear guidelines, collaborative teams, and opportunities to improve AI model performance.

I am a detail-oriented AI data specialist with extensive experience annotating, labeling, evaluating, and performing quality assurance on text, audio, image, and video datasets to support AI/ML model development. I deliver accurate, consistent outputs in remote and flexible environments and have advanced English proficiency (C1).

As a freelancer and remote contributor to platforms such as Remotasks, Microworkers, ParetoAI, Rev, Scribie, and babbleaudio, I have executed data collection, preprocessing, object tagging, classification, content moderation, and pairwise comparisons to measure and improve model accuracy. I manage multiple projects simultaneously while meeting deadlines and maintaining strict guideline compliance.

My background in scientific training and nursing studies strengthens my analytical, critical-thinking, and attention-to-detail skills, which I apply to ensure dataset integrity and improve model reliability through effective error detection and linguistic evaluation.
