Korean–English Bilingual | AI Data Annotation & Technical Writing I specialize in Korean speech and text data annotation for AI model training, with hands-on experience in transcript alignment, metadata tagging, and RLHF- or chatbot-based evaluation workflows. As a senior reviewer on multi-layered AI projects, I’ve contributed to prompt refinement, domain/environment classification, and structured quality reviews to ensure dataset reliability and training value. I’m comfortable following complex annotation guidelines precisely and consistently. In parallel, I bring 4+ years of experience supporting B2B SaaS platforms, where I handled technical support, process design, and documentation. This background has helped me build strong technical literacy and a structured communication skill set—skills I aim to apply to freelance opportunities in technical content writing as well, especially where clarity and guideline adherence are critical. Core Strengths: • Korean speech annotation, RLHF & chatbot evaluation • Transcript-text alignment & metadata consistency checks • Writing manuals and user guides for SaaS tools • Clear communication in both Korean and English Additional Capabilities: • Natural Korean voice recording for AI training datasets • Experience with product upload workflows on Korean e-commerce platforms Open to: – AI data tasks (RLHF, prompt tuning, chatbot/speech QA) – Technical documentation and content writing – English-to-Korean refinement with attention to tone and instruction-level accuracy

Korean-language content I wrote and directed hit 20M+ VIEWS and 12K SUBSCRIBERS in 2 months. That same instinct for what makes Korean audiences stop scrolling is what I bring to clients, from travel startups to $800M+ B2B tech enterprises. I write, localize, and QA Korean marketing that actually connects. 🤗 ⬇️ View my portfolio below. Let's talk. ___ Pleasure to meet you. I'm Dae. Most of my clients work with me because I don't just speak Korean, I understand what makes Korean audiences stop scrolling, click, and buy. I grew a Korean-language YouTube channel from zero to 12,000 subscribers and 12 million views in two months. Every script, every hook, every word was written for a specific Korean demographic. No ads. No shortcuts. Just copy that landed. I've also delivered marketing localization for travel-tech clients and B2B video subtitle translation for an $800M+ European tech enterprise, always holding the same bar: would this land with a native Korean audience? Over the past year, I've worked across: - Korean copywriting (ads, landing pages, email campaigns, product descriptions) - Marketing localization and cultural adaptation - Linguistic QA and proofreading for Korean-language content - Korean social media and short-form content strategy - Brand messaging review for Korea market entry - AI output review and evaluation (Korean LLM responses) - AI language-data collection coordination (recruitment, scheduling, and automated reminder/attendance systems) ___ When you work with me, you get Korean that actually sounds Korean. Not translated, not stiff, not awkward. Every piece I write or review is held against one standard: would a native Korean audience trust this? I care about getting the nuance right. There's a real difference between Korean that reads correctly and Korean that converts, and that gap is exactly where I work. I aim for long-term partnerships where the work keeps compounding, not one-off projects that go nowhere. Looking forward to building something useful together. Feel free to reach out with any questions and we'll connect. Cheers, Dae P.S. If your use case doesn't exactly match what I listed above, reach out anyway. If it involves Korean language, Korean audiences, or Korean market entry, I'm more than willing to figure it out with you.

Growing businesses often don’t have a people problem. They have an information problem. Processes live in scattered documents, Slack messages, meeting recordings, or inside someone’s head. Teams waste time searching for answers, onboarding takes longer than it should, and customers receive inconsistent information. I help businesses fix that. I design and deliver knowledge systems, documentation, workflows, and operational improvements that make information easy to find, easy to maintain, and easy to use. Whether you need a single SOP, a knowledge base, or someone to lead a documentation project from discovery to delivery, I take ownership from start to finish. What I Do → Documentation & Knowledge Systems Clear documentation is the foundation of efficient operations. I create resources that help employees and customers access accurate information when they need it. Services include: • Standard Operating Procedures • Internal knowledge bases and company wikis • Technical documentation • Employee onboarding guides • Customer help centres • Process documentation • Training materials → Automation & Workflows Documentation should work with modern tools, not compete against them. I build workflows that capture knowledge, automate repetitive tasks, and keep documentation current as your business evolves. Services include: • Documentation workflows • Knowledge extraction from meetings and recordings • Content creation support • Documentation automation • Prompt libraries and knowledge systems • Workflow automation using modern tools → Project Delivery Great documentation doesn’t happen by accident. It requires planning, collaboration, and execution. I manage projects from discovery through delivery by: • Defining objectives • Gathering requirements • Interviewing stakeholders and subject matter experts • Planning deliverables and timelines • Coordinating across teams • Managing documentation projects from start to finish • Delivering solutions that are ready to use, not just ready to review → Problem solver For more than nine years, I’ve worked at the intersection of documentation, learning, and knowledge management. Before that, I spent over twenty years teaching and designing learning experiences. That experience taught me how to simplify complex information, facilitate workshops, extract knowledge from experts, and create resources that people actually understand and use. One certification program I designed for an AdTech company enrolled more than 260 professionals and achieved an average learner rating of 4.62/5. Good documentation isn’t measured by the number of pages. It’s measured by whether people can successfully do their jobs because of it. → Tools I Use • Automation tools: n8n, Make, Zapier • Knowledge management: Notion, Confluence, Airtable, Zendesk • Documentation platforms: Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Markdown, Loom • Learning systems: Absorb LMS, SCORM,
