Message

At Atlas Capture, I annotate image, video, audio, and text datasets, applying ontology guidelines to produce consistent, model-ready data. I also review peer annotations and correct errors, with accuracy rates above 96%.

At Outlier AI, I evaluate AI-generated Kiswahili text, write and paraphrase training examples, and transcribe audio for speech recognition. I provide feedback on model failures to guide dataset improvements and fine-tuning.

My work with Data Annotation Tech and Sigma AI included NLP and conversational data, Kiswahili language contributions, and dataset QA. I bring a linguist’s precision to annotation across text, image, audio, and video.
