Isaac Mwasi
@isaacmwasi
Swahili-native data specialist with 5+ years in clinical research and data management.
What I'm looking for
I'm a native Swahili speaker raised on the Kenyan–Tanzanian coast with over five years' experience in clinical research and data management at the Kenya Medical Research Institute. I combine deep linguistic intuition about Swahili—grammar, dialects, and cultural nuance—with rigorous data practices to ensure clarity and accuracy.
In my roles I evaluated and entered clinical data, flagged and resolved inconsistencies, performed routine quality checks, and participated in user testing to improve database usability. I consistently exceeded daily entry targets during high-pressure periods and worked closely with field teams to maintain culturally appropriate data collection.
I'm proficient with Microsoft Office, REDCap, OpenClinica, and STATA, and I enjoy collaborating with global teams or working independently to help train AI systems and improve written Swahili content through structured evaluation and prompt crafting.
