Multilingual linguist specialising in translation, LLM evaluation, prompt engineering, and transcription.
What I'm looking for
I am an adaptable, tech-savvy linguist with strong expertise in translation, linguistic validation, and creating high-quality datasets for large language models. I combine cultural sensitivity, linguistic intuition, and attention to detail to deliver accurate results under tight deadlines.
My recent roles include LLM evaluation, prompt engineering, and transcription of clinical audio, where I designed bilingual prompts, performed systematic model comparisons, and annotated complex medical data. I contribute to quality control, guideline updates, and occasional team leadership to ensure consistency and high annotation standards.
I hold a BA in Education and bring proven experience in teaching, proofreading, and multilingual communication (German native, English proficient), always quickly mastering new tools and workflows to support model alignment and dataset development.
