What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation and quality in language technology, where I can contribute to impactful AI training initiatives.

I am a detail-oriented and adaptable professional with a strong foundation in linguistics and a passion for language technology. My journey began at Maseno University, where I earned a Bachelor of Education Arts with IT, graduating with strong academic standing. My coursework focused on language structure, writing, and digital communication, which equipped me with excellent analytical, research, and communication skills.

In my role as a Linguistics Researcher at a university research lab, I developed and evaluated linguistic prompts to assess AI models' understanding of syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. I designed comprehensive scoring rubrics and collaborated with cross-functional teams to refine evaluation criteria. Currently, as a Freelance Linguistics Consultant, I generate challenging prompts to test AI reasoning and linguistic accuracy, ensuring high-quality outputs aligned with advanced linguistic standards.
