What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can apply Swahili NLP and QA expertise in collaborative, data-driven teams focused on improving AI language models and dataset quality.

I am an analytical AI Trainer and Data Annotator with hands-on experience in data labeling, linguistic evaluation, and quality assurance for AI model training.

I have worked across multicultural, remote teams to prepare high-quality datasets, reducing errors through rigorous QA processes and improving model outputs with Swahili linguistic expertise.

My professional roles include data verification, annotation, and coordination on projects for CloudFactory, RWS Group, TELUS International, and community-focused organizations, where I applied human-centered design and data-driven decision-making.

I hold a Bachelor of Business and Management (Banking and Finance) and certifications in Data Analysis, Digital Marketing, and Human-Centered Design, and I seek roles that leverage my linguistic specialization and QA experience to advance NLP and ML projects.
