What I'm looking for

I seek remote roles applying Swahili linguistics to AI/NLP, translation, and language-data projects where I can evaluate models, annotate data, and collaborate with supportive teams that value accuracy and cultural fluency.

I am a Swahili language specialist and freelance linguist with deep expertise in grammar, syntax, morphology, semantics, and cultural nuance. Since 2021 I have provided translation, linguistic consulting, and language-data support for AI/NLP projects, helping teams improve factual accuracy and reduce error patterns.

I conduct linguistic analysis, data annotation, error-trace documentation, and prompt evaluation, and I document findings in structured reports and presentations. I am passionate about shaping AI to better serve Swahili speakers and bring strong research writing, proofreading, and cross-cultural localization skills to every project.
