Joel Soto

Results-driven AI specialist and data scientist with deep expertise in data annotation, technical writing, and programming. I evaluate, label, and refine complex datasets to train and optimize machine learning and generative AI models. Proficient in Python, SQL, and modern analytical tools, I apply editorial judgment and analytical rigor to improve model performance and ensure the accuracy, consistency, and quality of AI-generated content.
