AMANI massawe

I am a Senior Linguist and Swahili Language Specialist with over 13 years of hands-on experience in translation, transcription, linguistic analysis, annotation, and AI language data training.

I bring native-level mastery of Swahili and deep expertise in grammar, morphology, semantics, phonetics, and cultural nuance, with proven success evaluating and improving large language models.

I have extensive experience in annotation, prompt-based linguistic stress testing, dataset validation, and documenting reproducible failure modes to guide model refinement and training data improvements.

I am self-driven, detail-oriented, comfortable in fully remote environments, and experienced in localization for African markets, regulated content review, and using CAT and annotation tools to deliver high-quality results under strict guidelines.
