About
I've contracted with dataannotation.tech (DAT) full time for ~2.5 years now, working primarily in the coding and mathematics domains. I've really enjoyed contracting but have found the unpredictability of the amount of work uncomfortable. Not knowing if things are slow or if it is just you can induce unneeded anxiety. Particularly if you—like me—heavily rely on this income to live, it can feel extistential at times.
I built this website hoping that it could soothe this anxiety.
