Meryem Sargin

Hi! I'm Meryem.

I have a degree in Italian Language and Literature and a background in Molecular Biology and Genetics. I enjoy working on projects that combine language, technology and attention to detail.

Right now, I work on AI data annotation and video captioning projects. I follow detailed guidelines to create accurate, consistent data that helps train AI models. I really enjoy this kind of work because I like finding small details and making sure everything is correct.

I'm especially interested in AI evaluation and data quality, particularly for multimodal AI, robotics and vision-language models (VLMs).

I'm a native Turkish speaker, fluent in English and Italian, with conversational Spanish.

Before starting AI projects, I ran my own e-commerce business for almost nine years. It taught me how to communicate with clients, meet deadlines and always take responsibility for my work.

I'm also a digital illustrator, so I have a good eye for visual details. That helps me with image and video annotation, where noticing small differences really matters.

Here's what I can help you with:

🤖 AI data annotation, video captioning and quality review

🌍 Multilingual AI and translation projects (English, Turkish & Italian)

👁️ Visual annotation and image review

🎮 Website, app and game testing

I'm reliable, quick to learn new guidelines, and I always try to deliver accurate, high-quality work. If that sounds like what you're looking for, I'd be happy to work with you!
