What I'm looking for

I’m looking for opportunities in AI, data annotation, and language technology where I can apply my skills in data entry, translation, and linguistic accuracy. I thrive on detail-oriented work, managing large datasets, and contributing to projects that push AI forward in meaningful, innovative ways.

I am a multidisciplinary professional with expertise in AI annotation, data entry, and translation/localization (EN ⇄ PT), paired with a creative background in design and content creation. My work is defined by precision, accuracy, and adaptability, whether managing large datasets, annotating audio/text, or delivering high-quality translations.

Previously, as a graphic designer, I created packaging, branding, and marketing visuals that aligned with client strategies and resonated with audiences. Combined with my experience in administrative support and documentation management, I bring both technical accuracy and creative problem-solving to every project.

I am passionate about contributing to AI and language technology projects, where detail and consistency directly shape innovation. My goal is to join collaborative teams where my skills can help build smarter, more effective solutions.
