What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation in AI, encourages collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a detail-oriented and analytically driven professional with proven expertise in AI data labeling, annotation, and system optimization. My experience includes enhancing AI performance through Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT), and fine-tuning Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines. I have a strong background in applying Natural Language Processing (NLP) principles for training and evaluating AI models, which has allowed me to contribute effectively to cross-functional teams.

In my role as a Senior AI Data Trainer at Invisible Technologies, I led the review and refinement of complex video annotations for OpenAI’s SORA project, ensuring data integrity and alignment with model learning objectives. My collaborative efforts with product managers and engineers streamlined data pipelines, significantly improving AI model performance. I am passionate about mentoring others and maintaining high standards in data quality, which I believe is crucial for successful AI system development.
