@tobiasodhiambo
Aspiring AI evaluator with data annotation, research, and analytical Olympiad background.
What I'm looking for
I am an analytically driven Occupational Therapy student with over two years of hands-on experience in data annotation, academic writing, and health research. I have contributed to international AI projects, authored technical documents in LaTeX, and delivered high-quality work in remote, deadline-driven environments while applying Olympiad-honed reasoning in biology and mathematics.
I have clinical training from Nairobi hospitals and a strong interest in secure data systems, investigating blockchain solutions for healthcare and AI. I combine research design, structured problem-solving, and practical tooling skills (LaTeX, Excel, Photoshop, Canva, basic Python) to support rigorous AI evaluation and health-related research.
