I annotate AI data and apply linguistics to improve reliable NLP.
What I'm looking for
I’m an AI Data Annotator and Linguistics graduate, focused on delivering accurate, consistent annotations that improve AI model performance and reliability. In a remote, Australia-based research environment, I complete onboarding and training requirements while strictly following project guidelines and NDAs.
I’m detail-oriented and quality-driven, using structured workflows to meet predefined quality metrics and turnaround times across assigned tasks. I identify, analyze, and escalate anomalies, trends, and recurring issues to the Project Manager, helping reduce systemic errors and strengthen annotation consistency. I stay proactively aligned on progress, shifting priorities, and potential risks while troubleshooting macOS-based tooling to minimize disruption.
Before my current annotation work, I supported computational linguistics research as a Research Assistant in Sydney, helping transcribe, code, and label spoken-language corpora. I applied phonological and syntactic annotation frameworks to large datasets, contributed to inter-annotator agreement through documentation of inconsistencies, and helped improve team-wide guideline standards through revisions. I completed a Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics (with Distinction), including an honours thesis on an annotation consistency quality assurance framework for neural machine translation corpora.
