What I'm looking for

I seek opportunities that allow me to leverage my linguistic skills in a collaborative environment, focusing on AI and cultural projects.

I am a detail-oriented Swahili linguist and data annotator with over four years of experience in text annotation, translation, and linguistic evaluation. My expertise lies in evaluating machine-generated Swahili content, ensuring linguistic accuracy, and providing cultural insights. I have a strong background in remote freelance work, collaborating with global teams on AI training projects.

In my role as a Freelance Swahili Language Annotator, I annotated Swahili text for linguistic structure and semantic accuracy to train language models. I provided cultural and contextual corrections to improve natural language processing systems, collaborating with a multilingual, international annotation team. My commitment to quality is evident in my meticulous review and validation of annotated datasets for consistency and accuracy.

As a Swahili Translator and Proofreader, I translated academic and digital content from English to Swahili, proofreading texts for NGOs, e-learning platforms, and marketing teams. I also conducted app and website localization for East African Swahili speakers, ensuring that the content resonates culturally and linguistically with the target audience.
