Hi, I’m Sneha Katakam. I’m a data annotator with 5+ years of experience labeling large datasets for machine learning, with a focus on precision in rectangular labeling and box labeling. I’ve collaborated closely with data scientists and engineering teams to deliver high-quality annotations that improve model training efficiency. I enjoy designing and testing prompts, applying linguistic and acoustic analysis to speech data, and providing actionable feedback to enhance AI systems. I thrive in remote, fast-paced environments and am always eager to learn new tools while documenting processes and maintaining quality standards.
