Freelancer Overview

I am a detail-oriented Senior Data Annotation Specialist with over five years of experience supporting AI and machine learning development through high-quality dataset curation, labeling, and taxonomy design. My background includes a Ph.D. in Computational Linguistics from Stanford and hands-on expertise with annotation workflows, QA audits, and model alignment projects for leading AI research organizations and global freelance clients. I am highly skilled in using tools such as Labelbox, SuperAnnotate, and Label Studio for multimodal data—including text, image, and audio—and have contributed to diverse projects in NLP, computer vision, and LLM fine-tuning. I excel at developing annotation guidelines, optimizing pipelines, and ensuring data integrity, consistently achieving >98% accuracy and improving inter-annotator agreement. My approach emphasizes precision, consistency, and adaptability, ensuring that every dataset I manage enhances the reliability and performance of next-generation AI systems.
