What I'm looking for

I'm looking for AI annotation, search-quality, or content-evaluation work where I can apply evidence-based judgment, geographic accuracy, search-intent analysis, guideline adherence, and clear written feedback.

I currently evaluate Maps Search 2.0 results for TELUS, rating relevance, place names, addresses, and pin accuracy for the pt_PT locale under detailed Search guidelines.

Through Appen’s CrowdGen platform, I contributed Portuguese speech data for AI training and achieved a 90%+ quality pass rate while following strict annotation standards.

I built and operate DiscoverPortugal2day.com, a Portuguese travel-content platform monetised through Booking.com affiliate partnerships. I use search intent, editorial structure, Google Analytics, and traffic signals to improve content usefulness and commercial performance.

I’ve also managed Bet365 affiliate acquisition campaigns that referred thousands of users, and delivered GIS and business-analysis work for Portugal Telecom, TMN, Banco Espírito Santo, and major retail clients. My analysis supported €1.3M in additional annual campaign revenue and identified high-concentration churn opportunities.
