Summary

I am writing to express my interest in the position currently available within your team. I have recently held a similar role at DataAnnotation, where I found the work both intellectually stimulating and deeply rewarding. I am confident that my experience and enthusiasm would allow me to make a meaningful contribution to your organization.

At DataAnnotation, I actively participated in projects involving the creation of long and complex prompts in Italian, the evaluation of AI-generated responses, and reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF). To deepen my understanding of AI systems and their underlying mechanisms, I regularly engage in professional development through educational YouTube channels and relevant literature—most recently Why Machines Learn by Anil Ananthaswamy, which explores the mathematical foundations of machine learning.

In addition to my AI-related experience, I bring over 25 years of language teaching expertise across diverse cultural contexts, having taught Italian and English in Italy, France, Turkey, Spain, Serbia, Thailand, Vietnam, and China.

I am highly adaptable, open to flexible scheduling, and available to begin work promptly.
