What I'm looking for

I seek remote roles contributing to AI language training and localization where I can apply Luo translation, annotation, and quality-control skills while working with a responsive, deadline-driven team.

I am a detail-oriented native Luo speaker with strong command of English and Kiswahili, experienced in translating, annotating, and labeling language data for AI and localization projects. I have worked as a freelance translator and data/photo annotator since January 2024, ensuring consistent formatting, grammar, and terminology across datasets while meeting deadlines.

I hold a degree in Education Arts from the University of Nairobi and a solid foundation in Kiswahili and English demonstrated by KCSE results. I am committed to high-quality proofreading, cultural and linguistic context awareness, and contributing to AI language training that fairly represents African languages.
