What I'm looking for

I'm looking for remote or contract AI training, data annotation, search evaluation, localization, transcription, and multilingual NLP projects where I can deliver high-quality work, apply Swahili and East African expertise, and continue developing AI safety and NLP labeling skills.

I've delivered AI training, annotation, and evaluation work through Oneforma/UHRS, Appen, Remotasks, Scale AI, Toloka, and Clickworker, completing 1,200+ text, image, and audio tasks monthly at 97–99% quality.

I rate LLM responses, write prompts, evaluate search results, transcribe audio and video, and provide native Swahili and East African cultural expertise for localization projects. I manage 3–5 remote projects at once while maintaining detailed quality checks and meeting strict deadlines.

Earlier, I produced 80+ articles and web copy pieces, grew social engagement for Nairobi businesses, and collected, cleaned, translated, and coded research data for academic projects. I'm fluent in English and a native Swahili speaker, bringing communication, linguistics, research, and AI data experience together.
