Janick Kollegger

Detail-oriented AI Training and Prompt Engineering specialist transitioning from a 10-year career as a professional chef into software engineering and AI-assisted workflows. Holds a Web Design Fundamentals certificate from SAE Institute Zurich and a Google AI Essentials Specialization (5 courses, Coursera), and is expanding these foundations with hands-on practice in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, code review, and debugging through the FreeCodeCamp curriculum. Combines strong analytical thinking and quality-control discipline built under high-pressure, deadline-driven conditions with practical skill in LLM evaluation and prompt design.

Reliable, fast-learning, and comfortable working independently in fully remote, multicultural environments — well suited for AI data annotation, model evaluation, and code-quality review roles at companies such as Outlier, Alignerr, Invisible Technologies, and TELUS Digital.
