What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and opportunities for professional growth.

I am an AI Data Trainer and Operations Professional with over 5 years of experience in data annotation, quality assurance, and team leadership. My expertise lies in delivering high-accuracy datasets for machine learning models, achieving over 95% accuracy while collaborating with cross-functional teams. I excel in managing large-scale projects, optimizing workflows, and addressing edge-case labeling challenges.

In my recent role as a Freelance AI Data Trainer/Reviewer, I successfully labeled and annotated over 10,000 datasets for NLP and computer vision models, adhering to strict project guidelines. By implementing a peer-review system, I reduced rework by 20% and collaborated closely with data scientists to refine labeling standards for ambiguous cases, significantly improving model performance.

Previously, as an Operations Manager at Travel Sure Ltd. in Pakistan, I led a team of 15, managing ticketing and vendor relations for over 500 monthly clients. My negotiation skills helped reduce operational costs by 15% while maintaining SLA compliance, and I resolved 90% of customer complaints within 24 hours, boosting client retention by 30%. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to contribute to innovative projects in the AI and data domain.
