AI safety and data annotation specialist optimizing LLMs and multimodal systems.
What I'm looking for
I am an AI safety and data annotation specialist with over five years advancing LLMs, speech-recognition systems, and multimodal AI technologies. I combine adversarial prompt design, linguistic and sentiment analysis, and rigorous dataset curation to improve model accuracy, reduce bias, and strengthen ethical alignment while maintaining high annotation quality.
My background includes remote roles delivering annotation accuracy above 99%, training ASR and NLU models, and supporting customer-facing teams for U.S.-based firms. I author evaluation reports, design edge-case tests and prompt chains, and build workflows that improve efficiency and model robustness—always prioritizing human-centered, reliable AI systems.
