training).

Data Annotation Tech, Remote March. 2024 - September. 2024

Data annotator specialist


• Annotated 10,000+ complex datasets (text, images, LiDAR) for AI/ML training with >100% accuracy, adhering
to strict labeling guidelines for autonomous vehicle and NLP models.
• Led quality control initiatives, identifying and resolving 200+ inconsistent labels weekly, improving dataset
reliability by 30% for client AI deployments.
• Trained and mentored 5 new annotators on tooling (CVAT, Label Studio) and domain-specific protocols
(medical imaging, geospatial tagging).
• Documented 15+ edge cases (e.g., occluded objects, ambiguous text) and collaborated with data engineers to refine
annotation frameworks.
• Reduced processing time 25% by optimizing workflow shortcuts in Prodigy Annotation Tool without sacrificing
quality.
