Freelancer Overview

I am an AI training and data labeling professional with hands-on experience in text, image, and video annotation, as well as data preparation and quality assurance for machine learning projects. I began working on AI-related tasks in 2020, contributing to dataset collection, cleaning, classification, and annotation workflows, and supporting basic model evaluation for supervised learning projects. My work emphasizes accuracy, consistency, and adherence to detailed labeling guidelines. In 2023, I expanded into data analytics and video-focused projects, where I analyzed content performance, labeled visual and textual data, and optimized metadata for large volumes of digital media. I am proficient with tools such as CVAT, Label Studio, LabelImg, Roboflow, Doccano, and cloud platforms like AWS SageMaker and Google Vertex AI. My background in software development and analytics allows me to quickly adapt to proprietary annotation tools, perform QA checks, and collaborate effectively with distributed teams. I am detail-oriented, reliable, and well-suited for LLM evaluation, content moderation, and large-scale AI training tasks.
