    Projects & skills

    By leveraging bounding boxes, I've annotated over 250 videos and images with diverse object variations, distances, motions, backgrounds, and lighting conditions, unlocking new horizons for computer vision insights.

    Skills: Computer vision, Attention to details, Localization and mapping.

    I have annotated more than 500,000 images, fitting them into the right data category. The annotation process followed a structured flow to ensure data quality and accuracy.

    Skills: Computer vision, Attention to details, identification and categorization.

    Having annotated more than 100,00 data, I regard this as one of the most tasking but interesting Projects. In 3DFY data annotation, the process involves merging objects with high-resolution 3D-derived meshes to create precise, realistic representations for AI training.

    Skills: Computer vision, Attention to details, identification and categorization, Achitectural survey and design, allignment.

    I have identified and masked over 500,000 data bearing in mind: Quality and Perfection for each tasks.

    Skills: Attention to detail, accuracy, Identification, segmentation, and sketch.

    For this project, I created adversarial prompts by subtly disguising sensitive topics (e.g., sexual content, abuse, or violence) to test the model's response.

    Skills: Research, Attention to details, Reading comprehension, Sentiment analysis, Quality assurance.
