About

I am a professional Linguistic Data Specialist and AI Trainer with experience in phonemic transcription, phonetics-based annotation, and speech data labeling for AI and speech recognition systems. I work with IPA-based transcription and pronunciation analysis to improve model accuracy and linguistic tagging across large datasets.

My background spans NLP, multilingual annotation, and quality assurance, and I routinely apply Python for data analysis to validate data quality and guide model training. I collaborate with enterprise clients, research teams, and voice technology developers to deliver scalable, accurate linguistic resources.
