Freelancer Overview

I am a data annotation specialist with hands-on experience supporting AI and LLM training through high-accuracy text and image labeling. My work focuses on NLP tasks such as intent classification, named entity recognition, sentiment analysis, and conversational data annotation, consistently meeting strict quality and productivity standards in accuracy-critical environments. I have contributed to multilingual AI training projects in English and Spanish, ensuring linguistic precision and cultural context for global applications. Alongside annotation, I regularly perform quality assurance, ground truth verification, and edge-case review, identifying ambiguities, inconsistencies, and potential bias in datasets. I work comfortably within detailed guidelines and NDA-restricted platforms, and I adapt quickly to new tools and workflows. My background in languages and international projects allows me to deliver reliable, high-quality training data for conversational AI and NLP systems.
