What I'm looking for

I’m looking to join teams that need high-quality Hausa language datasets—built end-to-end with strict audio quality, clean metadata, and documented consent—so our data directly powers reliable ASR/TTS/NLP for real-world AI products.

I’m a Hausa Language Specialist and AI Data Infrastructure professional, building enterprise-grade Hausa speech corpora with full metadata schemas and commercial consent documentation. As Founder & CEO of Al-Qasim Hausa Nexus, I operate Nigeria’s leading independent Hausa language speech corpus development company, producing ASR, TTS, and NLP-ready datasets for global AI and machine learning applications.

I manage demographically diverse speaker networks across Kano, Sokoto, Zaria, and Bauchi dialect regions, including rare Hausa child speech datasets (age range 10–13) that are highly valuable for model training. I also run the complete production pipeline—briefing to delivery—using strict audio quality control and structured data annotation, and I partner as an approved vendor of DataOcean AI serving Microsoft, Nvidia, Qualcomm, and Fortune 500 clients worldwide.
