What I'm looking for

I’m seeking remote contract work where I can apply my Hausa language expertise to AI language evaluation, dataset localization, and linguistic quality review.

At Babelos Limited, I coordinate linguistic quality work for localization and AI data projects. I review Hausa content for accuracy, fluency, meaning, terminology, cultural fit, and project guideline compliance.

For AI dataset localization and validation, I check language data for completeness, consistency, and contextual suitability. I also review machine-translated content and provide structured feedback on errors and recurring quality issues.

My project work includes WhatsApp Android localization, Samsung STMS UI localization and machine-translation post-editing, and AI guardrails dataset localization. I contributed to processes associated with a 30% reduction in translation errors, 25% shorter review cycles, and client satisfaction above 95%.

Since 2014, I’ve provided Hausa-English translation, transcription, interpretation, editing, proofreading, and localization services. I also interpret remotely for THG UK and in formal legal and municipal settings for Sol's Municipal Court.
