I currently evaluate frontier AI model outputs for AI data companies. Before that, I spent years in roles where data accuracy mattered, from maintaining digital nautical charts used for marine navigation to serving as subject matter expert for geographic and demographic research datasets used in major business decisions. Here's what my background means for your project: -Accuracy. I read style guides closely, flag ambiguities early, and catch edge cases. I've spent my career reviewing data and product releases for accuracy before they reached the people relying on them, and I bring the same care to annotation and QA work. -Communication. I've supported major client accounts, run trainings, and written documentation that makes complicated data understandable. I respond quickly, ask questions when the brief is unclear, and keep you updated. Relevant experience. Annotation frameworks, QA workflows, and quality rubrics are what I work in daily, so there's no ramp-up time on your project. WHAT I DO: -AI Data & Annotation: AI model evaluation and response rating, AI data annotation and labeling across text, audio, and video, transcription and transcription QA for audio, video, and meeting notes, and app and software testing grounded in professional UAT experience -Data & Research: data entry, enrichment, and database management in Excel and Airtable, data analytics, market and competitor research, consumer segmentation and audience profiling, demographic and geographic reporting, and survey design and analysis -GIS & Geospatial: custom mapping and spatial analysis with ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, FME, and Mapbox, plus location data and demographic mapping for real estate, urban planning, and logistics. I hold a Geography degree and worked as a professional geospatial analyst. -Writing & Voice: proofreading and copyediting, technical documentation, how-to guides, training materials, and SOPs, plus voiceover recorded on a professional condenser mic -Travel Planning: I'm a liscensed travel advisor who creates personalized itineraries for any budget or style, end-to-end logistics covering flights, accommodations, ground transport, visas, and travel insurance, plus access to exclusive hotel, cruise, and airline rates and perks Whether it's a quick transcription review or a multi-week research engagement, I read the brief carefully, deliver clean work, and hit the deadline! If you have a project that needs careful, consistent execution, send me a message with the details.
