## About

```text
At CloudFactory, I processed and validated datasets against structured SOP workflows, corrected inconsistencies, and maintained accuracy and consistency with annotation guidelines.

At Sama (Samasource), I annotated 2D and 3D LiDAR datasets for autonomous vehicle systems, including object detection, semantic segmentation, and cuboid labeling. I’ve also supported invoice tracking and reconciliation as a freelance finance and accounting support professional, and built backend systems using Python and REST APIs during my ALX Software Engineering Internship.
