What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote role where I can continue annotating data (transcription and localization), support AI training through rubric reviews, and grow professionally through teamwork and structured project work.

I’m a Year 1 International Finance student at Özyegin University, backed by a 100% YKS Scholarship. I currently work remote as a Freelance Data Annotator, focusing on transcriptioning air traffic communication recordings and supporting AI training through rubric work.

I also contribute to Turkish localization projects to help train AI, and I’m hands-on with AI Image Generation Tools and LLMs. Beyond annotation, I’ve led project management and sponsorship work at Teknofest Rocket Team by maintaining team communication and conducting sponsorship processes with companies and public organizations.
