What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration, offers growth opportunities, and allows me to leverage my QA and data annotation expertise.

With over 10 years of experience in Manual QA and a recent focus on data annotation, I have honed my skills in leadership, problem-solving, and adaptability. My journey has taken me from game testing to AI-driven object tracking solutions, where I have contributed significantly to AI model training through advanced techniques like RLHF and SFT.

Currently, I work as a Data Annotator, where I annotate datasets across various formats, ensuring high-quality outputs by adhering to strict guidelines. My experience spans multiple roles, including QA Analyst and Test Lead, where I have developed robust testing processes and mentored teams to enhance performance. I thrive in dynamic environments and excel at improving workflows while maintaining exceptional communication skills.
