Geomatics engineering student seeking remote Swahili AI annotation work, with experience classifying Kenya road data and checking records.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
At Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KERRA), I recorded levelling and chainage data on a road construction site and documented pavement layer works across the Survey and Inspectorate departments, following site specifications.
In JKUAT coursework, I classified Kenya road network data using a coded A–E road-class attribute and applied it to ArcMap symbology. I also built an Excel tool to compare 2024 and 2026 road attribute records and surface changes.
I'm a Geomatics Engineering student at JKUAT seeking remote contract work as a Swahili AI Annotation Specialist. I work to written guidelines, check records against accuracy requirements, and document my work clearly.
