What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to blend my scientific expertise with AI, fostering innovation and growth in a collaborative environment.

As an experienced cosmetic formulation specialist, I have spent over four years honing my skills in creating stable emulsions and navigating complex regulatory landscapes. My journey has taken me from leading R&D projects from concept to product launch to recently expanding my expertise into the realm of AI and data. I am passionate about leveraging my scientific background to contribute to innovative AI solutions.

Currently, I work as an AI Trainer and Data Annotator at Outlier, where I focus on annotating and categorizing diverse data types for AI model training. My role involves ensuring data quality and collaborating on workflows to optimize model performance. I have developed strategies to stress-test models and provide structured feedback to engineering teams, which has been instrumental in refining model behavior. My previous experience as a Senior R&D Specialist has equipped me with a strong foundation in project management and mentoring, which I continue to apply in my current endeavors.
