What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote, localization-focused work supporting AI training with high-accuracy language data. I want to use my Python automation and troubleshooting skills while collaborating with international teams to deliver quality within tight deadlines.

I’m a detail-oriented language professional and IT specialist with a strong background in software development and data annotation. I focus on Swahili transcription and linguistic analysis (Standard and Tanzanian dialects) and support AI development through high-accuracy data verification.

In my current role as a Data Annotation & Language Specialist, I annotate and verify Swahili language datasets for machine learning and AI training. I perform transcript post-editing to ensure grammatical correctness and cultural relevance, maintaining 95%+ quality-audit scores while interpreting complex project guidelines for accuracy and consistency.

Alongside language work, I develop and maintain automation scripts using Python and Termux for streamlined data processing and remote task support. I also handle technical troubleshooting to ensure 100% uptime and collaborate with international teams on digital skills development and online market research, always prioritizing quality, localization, and deadline reliability.
