What I'm looking for

I seek remote roles contributing to high-quality AI training data, emphasizing cultural accuracy, collaboration, and opportunities to improve QA processes.

I am an AI services professional with over two years' experience in data annotation, content review, and quality assurance, fluent in Swahili and English and experienced in ensuring cultural accuracy for East African audiences.

I have consistently delivered high-accuracy labeling and QA — achieving accuracy rates above 95% on annotation tasks and 98% on data processing — and I routinely use Excel, Google Sheets, and basic Python scripting to analyze patterns and automate repetitive work.

I collaborate effectively with remote, cross-time-zone teams, mentor junior colleagues, and document processes to improve data quality and workflows; I am seeking opportunities to contribute to high-quality AI training datasets and long-term remote engagements.
