I’m a detail-driven Data Annotator and Transcription Editor, improving AI datasets with accuracy, QA, and guideline expertise.
What I'm looking for
I’m a detail-oriented Data Annotator and Transcription Editor with 9+ years of experience working with text, audio, and AI-generated content. I evaluate, label, and improve datasets for machine learning models through prompt-response analysis and quality assurance.
I’ve worked extensively with guideline-driven annotation, applying complex rules to support dataset consistency, data integrity, and machine learning performance. In my current roles, I evaluate AI-generated responses for accuracy, relevance, and policy compliance while providing structured feedback.
I also bring strong transcription and editing expertise—editing AI-generated transcripts for accuracy, clarity, and formatting, and researching technical terminology for contextual correctness. From multi-speaker and multi-accent work to expert interview corrections, I focus on readability, coherence, and high-quality outputs under tight deadlines.
