What I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented Data Annotation Specialist with over 5 years of hands-on experience in computer vision annotation, image/video labeling, and dataset quality control.

My day-to-day work has involved using industry annotation platforms such as CVAT, Labelbox, VIA, Supervisely and SRT HALO to produce bounding boxes, polygon segmentation, and keypoint labels, and to perform accuracy auditing, data cleaning and version control. I have trained and onboarded 20+ new annotators, reviewed peer work, and contributed to QA audits and process improvements that increased efficiency.
