I’m a Data Annotation Specialist building ethical, high-quality AI datasets and scalable annotation workflows.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Dedicated Data Annotation Specialist with hands-on experience annotating high-quality Images, video, and 3D datasets for AI and computer vision models. I bring a strong focus on ethical AI, data governance, and scalable annotation workflows that uphold industry standards and data protection requirements.
At Invicible AI, I lead daily project delivery by monitoring task queues, balancing workloads, and ensuring timely completion of assignments. I act as the quality lead—conducting initial reviews, identifying issues early, driving resolution, and maintaining accurate project documentation with issue logs, action trackers, and completion reports.
Across multilingual and QA-heavy work, I’ve managed and improved annotation quality at scale, including overseeing Swahili audio datasets with linguistic accuracy and cultural relevance. I’ve also validated datasets for LLM training and fine-tuning through spelling, grammatical, semantic, safety, and ethical compliance reviews, plus prompt/response evaluation and feedback to improve reliability.
I also enjoy enabling teams through training, mentorship, and guideline refinement—sharing progress reports, resolving blockers, and strengthening SOP adherence so deliverables stay consistent and dependable. With my background in Linguistics & Languages from the University of Nairobi, I’m especially effective at maintaining language quality and consistency in complex annotation tasks.
