Freelancer Overview

I am a detail-oriented AI training specialist with hands-on experience in data annotation, prompt evaluation, content moderation, and quality assurance for machine learning projects. My background spans NLP and computer vision domains, where I have labeled and structured large datasets, performed intent classification, entity recognition, sentiment analysis, and object detection annotation. I am skilled in using tools like Labelbox, CVAT, Scale AI, Appen, and Dataloop, and have maintained a 98–99% quality rating across multiple remote AI training cycles. My work includes evaluating AI-generated responses, cleaning and validating datasets, and ensuring strict compliance with evolving annotation guidelines. With strong analytical skills, a keen eye for detail, and a commitment to data quality, I am passionate about supporting the development of high-performing AI systems.

Labeling Experience

Labelbox

Senior Data Annotation Specialist

LabelboxImagePolygon
As Senior Data Annotation Specialist, I annotated over 80,000 images for object detection and segmentation tasks in computer vision datasets. I performed polygon segmentation for complex objects, frequently achieving a 99% QA approval rate. I also labeled natural language processing datasets for intent classification and entity recognition. • Interpreted and implemented evolving annotation guidelines. • Conducted peer review QA to improve team annotation accuracy from 93% to 98%. • Consistently met a daily target of 1,500+ high-precision annotations. • Maintained strict confidentiality and compliance standards.
