What I'm looking for

I seek remote U.S. roles where I can apply multimodal annotation, model evaluation, and QC to improve model alignment and data quality while collaborating with cross-functional teams.

I am an AI data annotation and model evaluation specialist with 5+ years improving machine learning systems across multimodal, search, and social platforms.

I excel at large-scale annotation, preference ranking, bias detection, and guideline interpretation, delivering precise, high-throughput corrections used for model training and fine-tuning.

My work includes comparative evaluation, relevance scoring, fact-checking, and QC audits, with documented results such as maintaining 98%+ accuracy on weekly quality metrics during freelance engagements.

I am skilled with remote collaboration tools and proprietary labeling platforms, and I provide actionable feedback to cross-functional teams to improve generative model behavior while maintaining strict confidentiality.
