Freelancer Overview

I am an experienced data scientist and biology researcher with a strong background in data labeling, annotation, and AI training data workflows, particularly within generalist English, biological, and data science and programming domains. My work has involved leading and overseeing teams for data verification and ML data input, annotating LLM outputs, and developing end-to-end data pipelines for both structured and unstructured data. I am highly proficient in Python, R, and SQL, with hands-on experience in building and managing databases, creating custom data annotation tools, and implementing statistical and machine learning models using frameworks such as PyTorch and TensorFlow. I have contributed to projects involving next-generation sequencing, clinical and genetic data, and have developed bias-control methodologies for clinical trial datasets. My collaborative approach and attention to data quality ensure robust, reliable datasets for downstream AI applications.
