I am a fast learner who is highly detail-oriented and comfortable working with large volumes of information, following predefined rubrics and taxonomies. I believe AI works best when guided by human judgment and consistency, and I am dedicated to contributing to the development of accurate and reliable AI systems. This year I formalized my activity by establishing a sole proprietorship (PFA) and I am seeking a long-term collaboration with a team where I can contribute daily, grow continuously, and add real value to meaningful projects. I am eager to apply my cross-functional experience in data analysis, operations, and hospitality to diverse contexts, and I thrive in environments that value rigorous processes, learning, and collaboration. I aim to support teams in delivering clear, reliable results while expanding my own skills and impact.
