POD Lead & Data Annotator | Freelance (International AI Client)
As POD Lead and Data Annotator, I coordinated teams to deliver consistently high-quality datasets for an international AI client. I performed structured annotation and validation, focusing on side-by-side (SxS) evaluation, instruction-following assessment, and reasoning validation. I contributed to documentation of annotation SOPs, edge-case guidelines, and alignment with model training objectives. • Led a team of annotators handling multiple batches and QA workflows. • Conducted annotation, SxS evaluation, hallucination detection, and reasoning validation. • Developed and maintained SOPs and validation documents. • Used platforms such as Label Studio, Scale AI, Appen Connect, Toloka, and internal dashboards.
