What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote, high-volume data annotation and AI training roles where I can apply strict guidelines, deliver accurate fact-checked outputs, and strengthen quality with consistent audits and feedback-driven improvements.

I’m a detail-oriented Data Annotation Specialist and Software Engineer with strong experience in text annotation, fact checking, guideline-driven data labeling, and quality assurance for AI systems. I analyze short-form and long-form content to ensure accuracy, consistency, and compliance with strict annotation standards, while applying project guidelines to produce audit-ready outputs.

Alongside annotation work, I bring a deep engineering foundation in data systems, backend development, and AI-supporting infrastructures—having built and maintained scalable backend services and designed RESTful APIs with data validation and integrity controls. I’m available for remote, flexible, and high-volume data annotation and AI training projects.
