Freelancer Overview

I am a detail-oriented Data Annotation and AI Training Specialist with several years of experience supporting machine learning and generative AI systems at scale. My expertise spans high-accuracy labeling across text, image, audio, and video data, including action-based and egocentric video annotation, audio captioning, and speech event tagging. I have a strong track record of following complex, schema-based guidelines and consistently identifying edge cases to improve downstream model performance. I am adept at using web-based annotation tools and collaborating with QA and review teams to ensure quality and consistency. My background includes NDA-based projects for confidential research and enterprise clients, and I hold advanced degrees in data science and computer science, with a focus on natural language processing and large-scale analytics. I am committed to data quality, privacy, and responsible AI practices, and am comfortable working in fast-paced, guideline-driven environments.

Video Action Recognition & Egocentric Annotation Specialist

CVATVideoSegmentationAction Recognition
Performed action-based and egocentric video annotation for multimodal AI systems, including temporal segmentation and tracking of human activities. Applied detailed schema-based guidelines to ensure temporal accuracy and consistency across video sequences. Identified ambiguous and edge-case scenarios and escalated them through QA channels, helping refine annotation guidelines and improve downstream model understanding of complex human behavior.
