What I'm looking for

I’m looking for AI-focused work where I can apply structured evaluation and video similarity analysis, deliver high-accuracy annotations, and help teams train and validate models. I thrive in remote workflows with clear guidelines and quality standards.

I’m a detail-oriented AI specialist with advanced academic training in Machine Learning and a strong hands-on track record supporting visual AI through video annotation and AI training. I focus on comparing video content, identifying visual similarities, and applying structured, rule-based evaluation methods to keep outputs consistent and trustworthy.

In my work with DeepMind and Appen, I developed and applied evaluation workflows for visual data processing, and I annotated video and text data to improve machine learning models. I’m known for maintaining high-quality standards across large datasets while following strict, guideline-based instructions to ensure accuracy and consistency.

Beyond AI training, I’ve produced content for AI training datasets and worked on analytical reporting from structured data as an intern. I bring an outcomes-focused mindset, clear communication, and strong attention to detail—so teams can rely on my results for real-world AI evaluation and dataset readiness.
