    I provide practical and reliable solutions in Excel and Google Sheets, with a strong focus on automation and data clarity. Most of my work revolves around VBA and GAS (Google Apps Script), helping clients replace repetitive tasks with faster and cleaner workflows. I enjoy working with tables, formulas, charts, and large datasets. Turning messy spreadsheets into tools that are easy to use and easy to maintain. I've built everything from automation scripts and custom formulas to add-ins, ribbons, and interactive KPI dashboards. A big part of my work involves cleaning, reshaping, and consolidating large volumes of exported data so it's actually usable. I also collaborate on open-source projects on GitHub, so I'm comfortable reading other people's code and improving it. Clients often tell me I come up with solutions they didn't know they needed. I attribute that to my engineering background and a mindset built around analytical thinking, systems thinking, and problem-solving. I'm passionate about building tools that people actually find useful. Clear communication matters a lot to me. I tend to ask detailed questions upfront to fully understand the problem, to save time and frustration later. When you reach out, you can expect a response within 24 hours, a solid understanding of your needs, and a clear plan with realistic timelines. I'm comfortable working on both fixed-price and hourly projects, depending on what makes the most sense for the job. Thanks for reading!

    I provide annotation services with precision and data consistency. Delivering labeled datasets at 98%+ accuracy. In building an AI system, the quality of your training data is everything and that is where I come in. I am an AI Data Annotator specialist in image, Video, audio and speech labeling with over 6 years of experience helping machine learning teams and AI companies get their training data right. I have worked across computer vision, speech recognition, generative AI, and multimodal systems, and I understand that bad annotation does not just slow down a project, it breaks the model. What I actually do goes beyond clicking and labeling. I help teams design labeling workflows, write annotation guidelines that make sense, set up QA systems, and coordinate annotation teams on large-scale projects. I have delivered everything from small pilot datasets to massive production-ready annotation operations and I know how to keep quality consistent. My specialty: 🔸 Audio & Speech Transcription & ASR labeling Speaker diarization Sound event tagging Accent and language diversity annotation 🔸 Computer Vision & Image Bounding boxes, polygons, segmentation Keypoints and object tracking Semantic & instance segmentation 🔸 Autonomous Vehicles Lane marking, drivable areas Traffic signs, LiDAR & video annotation 🔸 LLM Alignment RLHF & RLAIF Prompt and response evaluation 🔸 Healthcare AI Medical image labeling High-precision QA workflows 🔸 E-commerce Product categorization, attribute tagging Catalog normalization Tools I have worked with: CVAT Roboflow LabelBox Label Studio VOTT V7 (Darwin) SuperAnnotate Supervisely Annotation Pro Google Sheet Microsoft 365 DataLoop and more If you need someone who understands both the technical and operational side of AI data labeling Let's talk. I am ready to add value from day one.
