What I'm looking for

I seek roles applying Somali linguistic expertise to AI training, localization, or translation in collaborative, impact-driven teams with opportunities to improve model accuracy and cultural relevance.

I am an IT professional and Somali language specialist with a Bachelor of Information Technology and hands-on experience applying linguistic expertise in humanitarian contexts.

At the World Food Programme I provided high-accuracy translations, analyzed complex linguistic materials, and ensured cultural appropriateness across communications to increase program reach and impact.

I have practical experience in AI training tasks including prompt engineering, RLHF, data annotation, and linguistic quality assurance, combined with IT skills in troubleshooting, database management, and Google Workspace.

I am committed to improving Somali-language AI model accuracy and cultural relevance, working reliably in remote-hybrid teams and meeting strict deadlines for critical information dissemination.
