What I'm looking for

I seek remote, part-time, or freelance roles where I can apply bilingual linguistic expertise and rigorous data QA to build high-quality AI datasets, improve processes, and contribute to cross-functional teams.

I am a detail-oriented AI Data Specialist and Project Coordinator with over a decade of experience ensuring data accuracy, quality control, and process compliance for government and corporate projects.

I combine strong analytical skills with fluent English and native German to support AI training datasets through text and image labeling, metadata standardization, and rigorous data validation within structured workflows.

My accomplishments include validating and processing federal grant and contract data (over $90 million annually), implementing automated tracking and quality checks that reduced errors by 25%, and coordinating 40 federal award closures with zero audit findings.

I am known for calm execution, resourcefulness, and impeccable follow-through; I’ve delivered $500K in process savings through workflow automation and improved compliance and traceability across global engineering and R&D data operations.
