I’m a language and IT specialist specializing in Swahili transcription, data annotation, and Python automation for AI.
What I'm looking for
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.
