AI data specialist and bilingual linguistic analyst, improving multilingual spoken AI quality.
What I'm looking for
I’m an analytical bilingual professional and linguistic specialist with extensive experience providing high-quality language and audio data for AI and enterprise systems. With a BA in English and advanced cognitive science training through a BA in Psychology, I bring deep understanding of syntax, semantics, phonetics, and human expression to modeling natural spoken interactions.
Through my work with Appen, Translated, and TELUS Digital, I deliver rigorous linguistic audits, audio data annotation, terminology consistency, and cross-cultural communication—bridging complex native Vietnamese nuances with technical AI frameworks. I’m also hands-on with audio transcription, conversational performance testing, factuality and auditory judgment, and language model evaluation for voice interactions, while staying highly detail-oriented and strict about data confidentiality.
