What I'm looking for

I seek remote roles utilizing Kiswahili–English expertise to evaluate and train AI, edit linguistic data, and contribute to culturally accurate language technology.

I am a postgraduate in Linguistics and Literature from the University of Nairobi with extensive experience as a freelance linguist, writer, and editor focused on Kiswahili and English.

I develop, proofread, and edit academic and creative texts, conduct linguistic analysis, and perform cultural adaptation to ensure contextual relevance and accuracy.

I review AI-generated and human-written texts for grammatical accuracy, tone, coherence, and factual reliability, and I collaborate remotely with international clients on translation, transcription, and content evaluation.

I am passionate about language technology, human-AI alignment, and contributing linguistic expertise to train and evaluate AI models for Kiswahili with nuance and precision.
