Kevin Maina

I am an AI Data Operations leader with over 2 years of experience building and scaling annotation teams for autonomous vehicle and computer vision projects. I have led teams to deliver 10,000+ labeled assets across LiDAR, 2D/3D, and video while maintaining >95% accuracy.

I design and implement SOPs and QA workflows that reduced turnaround time by 30% and improved inter-annotator agreement to 0.9+; I bridge engineering, product, and operations to refine labeling taxonomies and tooling strategies that delivered measurable model accuracy gains (e.g., 12–15%).

I hire, train, and manage annotation teams (10–15 members), champion tooling automation (Hasty AI, CVAT, Segments.ai), and partner with customers to translate requirements into scalable labeling pipelines that meet SLAs and improve ML performance.
