What I'm looking for
I am a passionate language professional with a degree in European Languages and Literature from Minho University. My journey began in 2012, and since then, I have honed my skills through various roles, including freelance work and positions in reputable companies. My experience as a Search Engine Evaluator at Appen Limited and as a Language Quality Specialist at Welocalize has equipped me with a deep understanding of language nuances and AI applications.
Currently, I serve as an AI Trainer at DataAnnotation, where I focus on testing and refining AI models. I also teach English as a Second Language in a public school, sharing my love for languages with students. My diverse background in linguistics, coupled with my digital skills, allows me to contribute effectively to projects that require precision and creativity.
