What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote, data-driven work where I can improve ML datasets through rigorous annotation, quality control, and bias/hallucination detection—collaborating with international teams to build accurate, safer, culturally sensitive AI products.

I’m a results-oriented Data Science professional with a strong foundation in data interpretation, annotation, and analysis. I’m certified in Azure Data Science and IBM Data Science, and I focus on translating complex data into actionable insights that improve accuracy and efficiency.

In my remote roles as an AI Data Annotator and Data Specialist, I’ve evaluated AI outputs for accuracy, relevance, and safety, documenting hallucinations, biases, and logical errors with detailed corrective feedback. I’ve also supported AI training by annotating text, images, and videos for search relevance, content moderation, multimedia tasks, and culturally sensitive outcomes for African and global audiences.

I apply statistical methodologies to ensure quality—performing quality control on annotated batches, measuring inter-annotator agreement, and resolving discrepancies to strengthen dataset reliability. From chatbot testing and image sorting to natural language processing, image recognition, and predictive analytics, I build clean training sets that help teams iterate faster and ship safer, more precise AI models.
