What I'm looking for

I seek remote roles in AI training or data annotation where I can apply rigorous QA, improve multilingual datasets, collaborate with engineers, and grow my annotation expertise.

I am an AI Trainer and Data Annotation Specialist with hands-on experience creating and reviewing Kiswahili and English training datasets to improve multilingual model performance.

I have labeled data for intent recognition, sentiment analysis, and NLU, maintained data quality above 98%, and collaborated with engineers and researchers to refine annotation processes and guidelines.

Detail-oriented and confidentiality-focused, I bring dataset cleaning, preprocessing, QA, and strong communication skills, and I am open to remote roles where I can contribute to high-quality language datasets.
