What I'm looking for

I'm looking to improve machine translation and NLP models through high-quality English–Swahili linguistic review, localization, annotation, and rigorous quality assurance.

I'm improving English-to-Swahili AI translation through linguistic review and human feedback at Appen/Crowd Gen, where I evaluate AI-generated translation segments for fluency and cultural acceptability with a 99% accuracy rate.

Previously, I reviewed 500+ monthly digital content pieces for Kenyan audiences at Dash Tech Localization Agency, reducing localization errors by 25% through CAT tools and consistent brand voice. At Atlas Capture AI Solutions, I labeled and semantically tagged text for NLP models while maintaining a 95% inter-annotator agreement threshold.
