Freelancer Overview

I am an AI data evaluation and LLM training specialist with experience across text, image, and video annotation for NLP, computer vision, and multimodal model development. My work spans prompt classification, adversarial prompt red teaming, rubric-based evaluation, dataset formatting, and model behavior analysis for LLMs. I have also contributed to structured video segmentation for sports action recognition and computer vision dataset preparation, including PPE image annotation for detection and classification workflows using Roboflow. I excel at interpreting complex guidelines, resolving ambiguous cases, conducting QA reviews, and maintaining high data integrity across annotation pipelines. My toolchain includes MCP, Python, Docker, Roboflow, CVAT, and multimodal dataset formats such as CSV and JSON. I have contributed to projects supporting LLM alignment, safety testing, and structured dataset creation, helping improve model reliability, instruction following, and output quality through consistent data evaluation and preparation.
