I sit at the intersection of professional photography and AI model training — a combination that's rarer than it sounds.
For the past 2+ years I've worked with OpenAI and multiple top-tier AI labs to help machines see better. That means producing ground-truth image and video datasets, running quality control on thousands of visual tasks, coaching peer reviewers, and delivering the kind of structured, expert feedback that feeds directly into model fine-tuning cycles.
Before AI, I spent a decade as a commercial photographer — shooting fashion and product campaigns, editing in Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, and publishing documentary photobooks on East European culture. That foundation is what makes my AI work different: I don't just flag whether an image "looks right." I can articulate exactly why, in the precise technical language that makes feedback actionable for engineering teams.
What I bring to a role:
▸ Image & video annotation at production scale — shot type, angle, depth of field, colour accuracy, temporal consistency
▸ QA and quality control — identifying edge cases, biases, and inconsistencies in AI-generated visual content
▸ Adobe Photoshop (advanced) — complex compositing, global style edits, text replacement, before/after benchmark pairs
▸ Coaching & reviewer calibration — raising team output quality through targeted, structured feedback
▸ Computer vision domain knowledge — optics, composition, perspective, lighting, colour science Currently open to roles in AI data, visual content review, computer vision annotation, and remote senior QA positions.
