What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can apply precise data management and QA skills, contribute to AI data training, and work in a collaborative, technically rigorous environment focused on accuracy and growth.

I am a detail-oriented technical professional with a BSc in Land Surveying and hands-on experience in high-precision data collection, verification, and technical reporting. I have worked on mining and engineering plans using QGIS, AutoCAD, ArcGIS, and Civil3D, ensuring regulatory compliance and accuracy.

In field and supervisory roles I oversaw large-scale data collection projects, verified datasets with ArcGIS Survey123, and served as a technical troubleshooter for software-related queries. I consistently ensured data met strict quality benchmarks and managed fieldworker databases.

As an instructor at a university, I translated complex surveying concepts into practical instruction, taught data processing and hand-calculation verification, and emphasized logical workflows and accuracy to students. I also compiled detailed technical reports, survey diagrams, and comparison sheets for stakeholders.

I am seeking to leverage my expertise in data management, quality assurance, and technical writing toward roles as an AI Trainer/Specialist to improve reasoning and accuracy in Large Language Models.
