Data annotator with hands-on CVAT, Label Studio, and Scale experience, reviewing video annotations for accuracy and consistency.
What I'm looking for
At HABC and Beauty LLC, I build and manage Shopify e-commerce operations while updating product listings, customer information, website content, and digital records. I also respond to customer inquiries and check records for missing information or inconsistencies.
Through hands-on data annotation projects, I used CVAT, Label Studio, and Scale to label data and segment video into meaningful events. I applied project guidelines, added timestamps when required, and reviewed annotations for errors and missing information.
At the Ministry of Agriculture, I recorded user-reported issues and maintained service logs. As a Virtual Assistant at Dextra VA LLC, I organized digital records and managed email, scheduling, and customer follow-ups.
Across transcription and data-quality work, I produced structured written records, identified speakers, and proofread for accuracy. I’m a native Kenyan Swahili speaker, fluent in written and spoken English, and I’m looking to build practical experience in AI and data through real-time projects.
