I applied bounding boxes, action segmentation, and hand and object keypoints to prepare footage for robot training. At Telus International, I annotated multi-domain data, evaluated structured tasks, and produced step-by-step annotations for model fine-tuning and benchmarking. My work achieved a consistent 95%+ accuracy rate validated through internal QA. As a physiotherapist at As-Shifa Medical Rehabilitation Centre, I deliver patient assessment, treatment planning, and rehabilitative care. I also designed and conducted a study with over 40 participants evaluating Meta Quest 3-based rehabilitation for motor recovery among stroke survivors. ``` ## Experience ### Freelance Data Annotator (current) [Toloka](https://himalayas.app/companies/toloka-ai).
