I’m Zakariya Muntari, a detail-oriented AI Data Annotation Specialist from Nigeria who enjoys building high-quality training datasets through careful labeling, evaluation, and quality assurance. I’ve worked on structured remote AI-data projects where I follow guidelines closely, maintain consistency across repetitive workflows, and focus on accuracy in both visual and contextual review. I also have hands-on experience with voice recording and speech-data tasks, including transcription and language evaluation. From Toloka and Mindrift projects to freelance/contract assignments, I’m comfortable working independently, meeting deadlines, and producing reliable results that help improve AI vision-language-action and audio-related models.
