I’m an AI model training and evaluation specialist, English educator, and content creator with a background across creative and communication-driven fields, including design, fashion, marketing, entrepreneurship, and education. I work with global clients on AI and machine learning projects, supporting model training, data annotation, evaluation, and quality assurance across text, audio, image, video, and multimodal systems. My focus is on helping models produce more natural, accurate, and human-like output, especially in language and communication-based tasks. Alongside my AI work, I’m also an English teacher and the creator of a YouTube channel and podcast called Clear English Listening, where I design listening-based content for English learners from beginner to advanced level. I create educational videos, podcasts, scripts, and learning materials focused on clear, practical, real-world English. My linguistic background allows me to evaluate tone, clarity, pronunciation, emotional expression, and accent patterns across British, American, South African, and global English. This is especially valuable in projects involving natural speech, LLM behaviour testing, creative generation, and content refinement. I also work with clients on writing, editing, and content creation projects, including educational content, scripts, learning materials, and digital media. My approach combines structured thinking with creativity and strong attention to detail. I enjoy working on open-domain systems, real-world use cases, and projects that sit at the intersection of technology, language, and human communication. At the core of everything I do is a focus on accuracy, clarity, consistency, and making complex systems feel more human. *Skills* -AI & Machine Learning -AI model training and evaluation -Data annotation and QA -LLM behaviour testing and prompt evaluation -Text, audio, image, and multimodal analysis -Edge case analysis and guideline alignment *Language & Education* -English teaching and coaching -ESL lesson and curriculum development -Listening-based learning content -Pronunciation and accent evaluation -Editing and proofreading *Content & Creative* -YouTube and podcast creation -Educational scriptwriting -Content strategy and communication consulting -Video editing and digital content
