What I'm looking for

I seek a role in data labeling/annotation where I can apply meticulous attention to detail, collaborate with teams, and contribute to high-quality AI training datasets while growing my technical expertise.

I am a detail-oriented data annotation specialist and former interior designer with a Bachelor of Engineering in Architecture from the Arab Academy for Science and Technology. I combine meticulous labeling experience with design discipline to ensure accurate, high-quality datasets for AI systems.

My professional background includes hands-on labeling at Affectiva, managing labeling accuracy and productivity targets, and founding Tiara, where I led product development, operations, and a team of eight. I have strong technical skills in AutoCAD, SketchUp, and Microsoft Office, and I communicate fluently in Arabic and English.

I am committed to contributing to AI development through rigorous data preparation, collaborative workflows, and continuous improvement of labeling processes to support reliable model performance.
