What I'm looking for

I seek remote or hybrid roles where I can train and refine LLMs, improve data quality, collaborate with global teams, and apply linguistic expertise to deliver measurable model improvements.

I am a Generative AI specialist and linguist with a BA in Linguistics from Kenyatta University, combining hands-on experience training and evaluating LLMs with strong language skills in Swahili and English. I have a proven record delivering high-quality training datasets, refining model responses, and improving search relevance across remote and global teams.

I bring practical experience from freelance and corporate roles—prototyping ML applications, integrating models into production, and exceeding KPIs—alongside prior teaching and research roles that sharpened my editing, annotation, and qualitative analysis abilities.
