What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an AI data annotation role where I can own video labeling and quality assurance, follow clear guidelines, collaborate remotely, and continuously improve dataset accuracy—especially for training, content moderation, and event segmentation work.

I’m a detail-oriented Video Annotation and AI Data Specialist with 4+ years of experience in data annotation, video labeling, quality assurance, and AI training projects. I annotate and review text, image, map, and video datasets, create timestamp-based annotations, and maintain exceptional data accuracy and consistency.

In my recent work, I annotate and review AI training datasets while performing event identification, segmentation, and timestamp-based labeling. I also review and refine AI-generated outputs, conduct quality checks to identify workflow issues, and ensure labels are accurate, contextual, and aligned with project guidelines.

I pair strong English communication with a proven ability to follow complex guidelines and adapt quickly to feedback through remote collaboration. Alongside data quality work, I’ve developed backend APIs and maintain clear technical documentation and quality processes, supported by my Software Engineering training.
