What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my data annotation, validation, and quality-analysis experience to improve AI datasets, reporting, and operational performance.

I've supported Sama’s Nairobi teams by annotating video, text, image, and audio data for AI projects. My work includes identifying entities, encoding relationships, categorizing documents, and creating metadata through segmentation and annotation.

As a Data Quality Analyst at Sama, I raise data quality and performance levels across teams. I evaluate reporting, identify required corrections and enhancements, and build data quality awareness among managers and frontline staff.

I bring a Geospatial Engineering background from the Technical University of Kenya, alongside training in Artificial Intelligence. I work with data analysis, validation, cleansing, labeling, machine learning, NLP, Excel, and data manipulation.
