Freelancer Overview

I am a detail-oriented AI Data Specialist with hands-on experience in data annotation, labeling, and quality review across text, image, audio, and video datasets. My work has supported the development of AI and machine learning models in areas such as computer vision and natural language processing, where I have performed pairwise comparisons, object tagging, prompt-response alignment, and English content evaluation. I am skilled in using web-based annotation platforms, QA frameworks, and productivity tools, consistently delivering high-accuracy results in remote, metrics-driven settings. My strong analytical judgment, commitment to ethical data handling, and ability to adapt quickly to evolving guidelines enable me to ensure the quality, relevance, and safety of AI training data.

Labeling Experience

AI Data Specialist (Contract / Remote)

MercorTextText GenerationText Summarization

As an AI Data Specialist, I supported AI development by annotating and evaluating datasets used for model training and fine-tuning. My tasks included conducting pairwise comparisons, counting tasks, object labeling, and comprehensive English content reviews across multiple modalities. I focused on ensuring accuracy, safety, and adherence to quality and policy standards in all labeling assignments. • Labeled and annotated text, image, audio, and video data following detailed instructions. • Reviewed AI-generated outputs for grammar, coherence, and intent alignment. • Identified and flagged ambiguous, misleading, or policy-sensitive content. • Maintained rigorous confidentiality and ethical data handling practices.
