What I'm looking for

I'm looking for research, data annotation, or data quality work where I can use web research, validation, documentation, and AI-assisted workflows to deliver accurate, well-organized outputs.

I've spent over eight years turning web, marketplace, and professional-directory research into accurate, documented data. At DesignRush, I led prospecting and research teams while improving targeting, validation, and CRM-ready lead delivery.

I built and launched the Best Design Awards from a free offering into a subscription-based product, wrote cold email copy, and managed relationships with agency directors and senior decision-makers. My targeted prospect data supported campaigns achieving 50–70% open rates and 16–18% reply rates.

Across DesignRush, Inland World Logistics, and Datamatics Business Solutions, I've researched, verified, de-duplicated, and quality-checked company and contact data at scale. I use LinkedIn, ZoomInfo, Bloomberg, Apollo.io, Boolean search, ChatGPT, and Claude to deliver clear, reliable research outcomes.
