English is a working tool for him rather than a line on a CV. He reviews and corrects English audio transcription to millisecond-level timestamp accuracy, which means catching what a speaker actually said rather than what the machine guessed — a demanding comprehension task that most candidates could not do. At Genius Sports he spent two years communicating schedule changes to clients and remote teams in English and training new operators in it. His day-to-day work runs on English technical guidelines, quality documentation and incident reports, and his own CV reads cleanly throughout. He rates himself B2, which reads as a candid self-assessment from someone whose written and comprehension work is plainly stronger than the label implies. Spanish is his native language.

Every role since 2021 has been remote, and the Genius Sports coordination seat was remote team management rather than simply remote work. He held schedules for operators and analysts across locations, communicated changes to clients and remote teams, and resolved incidents while sports events were live, which leaves no room for a delayed reply. Since then Landing IA and Alignerr have both been asynchronous remote work delivered to deadline against strict formatting standards.

The progression at Genius Sports is the signal worth reading. Two and a half years on the data quality floor doing labelling, annotation and verification, then two years coordinating the people doing that work, training new operators and monitoring their quality. Someone promoted from the work into running the work usually knows the standard well enough to hold others to it.
