I annotate data and manage IT systems to power accurate AI.
What I'm looking for
I’m a detail-oriented Data Annotator and IT Professional with a strong technical background in information technology and data management. In my current role at RWS Group, I support Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning projects by providing high-quality real-world inputs that shape how models learn and perform.
I prioritize accuracy and strict adherence to annotation guidelines, delivering validated, high-quality datasets. At The Jordan Hospital, I oversee network infrastructure, backups, website/enterprise software administration, and IT strategic planning to keep critical systems running smoothly.
Earlier, as an ICT Intern with Nyeri County Governor’s Office and as a Network Technician at Fresh Products, I handled troubleshooting, software/hardware maintenance, and secure LAN design. I bring a consistent focus on reliability, confidentiality, and continuous improvement across both AI data work and IT operations.
