What I'm looking for

I seek full-time roles in data annotation, ASR training, or quality assurance where I can apply Swahili transcription and labeling expertise, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and grow in ML data pipelines.

I am a Data Annotation Specialist with over 4 years of experience delivering high-quality data labeling for AI/ML applications. I have specialized in annotating audio for ASR training, image annotation, and 3D LiDAR labeling while collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure accuracy and consistency.

At Verbit.ai I mentored junior transcribers and contributed to a 20% increase in transcription accuracy; at TELUS International and Remotasks I executed large-scale annotation projects meeting productivity and accuracy targets. I am adept with digital dictation and annotation tools, fluent in Swahili and English, and available for immediate full-time opportunities.
