What I'm looking for

I'm seeking fully remote, hybrid, contract, freelance, or project-based work where I can apply AI evaluation, data annotation, online research, quality assurance, and documentation skills while meeting productivity, quality, and performance targets.

At African Centre for Leadership, Strategy and Development, I lead monitoring, reporting, data validation, and documentation for donor-funded governance, gender, peacebuilding, and social development programmes across Nigeria.

I've managed large volumes of project data, conducted surveys and verification exercises, and produced technical and donor reports for initiatives supported by Ford Foundation, FCDO, Christian Aid, OSIWA, Malala Foundation, and MacArthur Foundation. Recently trained in Artificial Intelligence and AI Prompting, I bring strong attention to detail, English-language proficiency, online research, content review, and quality-control skills to remote AI training, data annotation, response evaluation, and research work.
