Data Quality & Operations Specialist at Samba, resolving metadata exceptions and maintaining a 95% match-rate standard.

At Samba, I serve as the final U.S. escalation point for metadata and ingestion exceptions, coordinating resolutions across multinational teams. I manage shift-level quality control for 1,500–2,100 video records daily and benchmark match rates against a 95% standard across more than 10 international markets.

I’ve also authored a U.S. political taxonomy reference and created process guides and decision-support tools. In independent projects, I designed a normalized SQL database and built an LLM system backed by automated consistency checks.
