What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities in language technology that foster growth and innovation.

I am a detail-oriented linguist with over nine years of experience in editing, writing, and translation, specializing in English and Spanish content. My current focus is on building expertise in data labeling and language data evaluation to support AI model improvement, particularly in enhancing response accuracy and relevance.

In my recent roles, I have successfully labeled over 13,400 query-item pairs for an e-commerce platform and assessed more than 250 Spanish responses to prompts, refining model performance through Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF). I am eager to leverage my linguistic knowledge and analytical skills to transition into language technology, contributing effectively to data annotation and AI development.
