@celineawino
I evaluate AI outputs and deliver precise multilingual annotation, transcription, translation, and client support.
What I'm looking for
I'm a freelance AI trainer and data annotation specialist evaluating LLM outputs for factual accuracy, reasoning quality, and instruction adherence. I document reproducible failure patterns, write test prompts, and apply rubric-based scoring to help surface model strengths and weaknesses.
I label and quality-check text, image, video, and audio datasets using CVAT and Make Sense, while maintaining detailed guideline compliance and data-security protocols. I also transcribe multi-speaker audio, align audio and text, and identify speakers for research and podcast-style projects.
My work spans English, Kiswahili, and French translation, localization, proofreading, and linguistic quality assurance. At Datastat Research Consultants and Population Council, I validated research data, supported documentation, translated questionnaires, and helped maintain reliable records.
With a Biostatistics degree from JKUAT, I bring an analytical, evidence-based approach to quality control. I'm passionate about responsible AI and language technology, particularly its growth across Africa.
