What I'm looking for

I seek a role applying native Swahili and data review skills to improve NLP and translation quality, collaborate with teams, and grow into data-focused language technology roles.

I am a detail-oriented Swahili language specialist and translator with hands-on experience evaluating and editing Swahili content for accuracy, clarity, and cultural relevance.

Since January 2022 I have worked as a remote freelance translator and content reviewer, assessing AI-generated translations, flagging sensitive or policy-violating material, and providing actionable feedback to improve NLP outputs.

I manage multiple projects, meet deadlines consistently, and maintain strong client communication. I leverage a background in computer science and native Swahili proficiency to bridge linguistic nuance and technical requirements.

I am eager to launch a formal career as a Data Specialist — Swahili, contributing to global projects that prioritize linguistic precision, safety compliance, and data-driven improvements in language technologies.
