Nickson Kithinji
@nicksonkithinji
I annotate LiDAR, video, image, audio, and text datasets for machine learning and autonomous-driving workflows.
What I'm looking for
I've delivered high-precision annotation and data-quality work for Align Turn, iMerit, CloudFactory, and Remotasks across audio, video, image, LiDAR, and language datasets.
I transcribe English and Swahili audio in full verbatim, align speaker segments with waveforms, and evaluate AI-generated text for accuracy, fluency, consistency, and contextual relevance. My annotation work includes 2D/3D point clouds, semantic segmentation, bounding boxes, cuboids, object tagging, and taxonomy classification.
I work carefully within strict SOPs, identify recurring labeling and ontology issues, and support reliable ML, autonomous-driving, ADAS, and NLP datasets through QA reviews and structured feedback.
