AI projects.
These are the main kinds of projects beginners take on. Each card names the platforms where you can apply for that work, and those links are referral links. A listed platform is no promise of an opening.
The platforms are independent sites, and I have no partnership with them. Each link opens the platform's own page, where roles and rules can change at any time.
Want to ask a real person?Questions and
personal advice.
If you're new to this field and don't know where to begin, tell me about your experience. When I have time, I'll suggest where to start.
✳
You share what you already know and want to do
✳
I review your background when time allows
✳
You get practical suggestions with no promise of a job
✳ I'm an independent AI evaluator and I don't recruit for any platform. I can't promise a reply, project access or paid work.
Your message
A short message is enough.
LinkedIn is the way to reach me. A short message is enough, and I reply when I have time.
- Say what you have worked on and which languages you use.
- Tell me which kind of AI work you are curious about.
- Ask one concrete question.
You don't need a CV for a first message. Please don't send ID documents or confidential project material. LinkedIn's own terms apply there.
AI for your business.
I also set up AI assistants and agents for businesses inside their own tools, with their data kept in-house. They read reports, write summaries and draft tasks, and a person stays in charge of every result.

me.
I'm Denys Haidamaka. I've worked on AI evaluation, multimodal review, quality checks and evaluation frameworks. I know the questions people have when they first enter this field.
FascinateAI Hub is my independent project to share practical, beginner-friendly advice and point people toward opportunities. I don't represent, hire for or speak on behalf of the platforms featured here.
Start a conversationFrequently asked
questions.
Do I need programming experience to start? +
Not always. Some annotation, data labeling and evaluation tasks focus on language, attention to detail and following instructions. Specialized projects may require professional knowledge, coding or other qualifications.
Is AI work a guaranteed remote salary? +
No. Many opportunities are contract-based and depend on country, eligibility, screening results and project demand. Available work and pay can change.
Will you help me pass the platform's assessment? +
I share general preparation tips and original practice examples. I don't provide confidential test answers, guarantees or shortcuts around platform rules.
Do I have to send you my CV? +
No. You can read every guide and apply using a referral link without sending me any personal details. Asking for advice and sharing a resume are optional.
Do you receive referral compensation? +
Some links may earn me a reward if you meet the platform's rules. That doesn't mean the platform will accept or pay you. I recommend platforms by fit, and each eligible link shows the details.
Can I contact you through this site? +
Yes. Use the contact form on this page, and attach a resume if you like. Netlify, which hosts the site, passes your message to my email. The privacy notice explains how long I keep it.
