My Story
Hello! I’m Diego, a data annotator, AI operations specialist, and generalist designer with a background in animation and storytelling.
​
I previously managed production for the popular YouTube series Canticos and contributed to projects like Night of the Animated Dead, strengthening my collaboration, creative problem-solving, and project management skills. More recently, I’ve worked as a multilingual (English/Spanish) AI data annotator, supporting large-scale AI workflows through human-in-the-loop evaluation, policy-based labeling, and content quality review. I currently support Meta through TEKsystems using single review tool (SRT) workflows, and I’ve also contributed through Micro1 and Outlier, including multimodal annotation (text, image, video, and audio).
​
Alongside my media and AI work, I’m a published author and illustrator, including The Silly Chronicles of Mrs. Flibbertigibbet. I’m also developing my fantasy novel Chaos’s Key, which I’m publishing under the name Alfonso D. Grau. Storytelling continues to shape how I think about clarity, engagement, and inclusive experiences.

Visit DiegoAlfonsoUXDesign.com to see how I blend creative storytelling, UX best practices, and AI evaluation rigor to build user-friendly experiences that are both meaningful and memorable.
