@yannickjacob
Bilingual AI data specialist with analytical precision from military and industrial quality-focused roles.
What I'm looking for
I’m an analytical bilingual (French/English) professional with a background built on precision, discipline, and sound judgment. I served as a Canadian Armed Forces Air Traffic Controller, where I coordinated aircraft operations by following strict procedures and making accurate decisions under pressure.
After my military service, I developed more than a decade of industrial troubleshooting experience as an Electromechanic. I maintain and troubleshoot automated industrial equipment, diagnose mechanical and electrical faults, and support production through preventive maintenance—always grounded in safety procedures and technical documentation.
I’m experienced in quality and reliability, with 5+ years supporting Béton Provincial’s automated industrial equipment and 10+ years across multiple industrial employers. My work has reinforced my strengths in attention to detail, analytical thinking, leadership, and learning new systems quickly.
Today, I’m seeking remote AI data annotation, AI evaluation, or search quality roles. I bring strong quality assurance instincts, internet research ability, and dependable communication, supported by tools like Microsoft Office and Google Workspace.
