What I'm looking for

I seek remote or hybrid roles focused on Swahili AI evaluation, translation, and dataset refinement where I can apply cultural expertise, mentor teams, and improve language quality.

I am a linguist and native Swahili speaker with hands-on experience evaluating and refining AI/LLM outputs, creating conversational prompts, and producing culturally accurate Swahili datasets. I have led content moderation teams and delivered translation, proofreading, and language-quality work for multilingual projects, prioritizing clarity, grammatical correctness, and Kenyan Swahili nuances.

I collaborate effectively in remote and structured freelance settings, train and coach peers on cultural sensitivity and policy application, and use tools like Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, and Slack to manage workflow and ensure high-quality linguistic annotations and evaluations.
