Experienced linguist with a passion for language analysis and communication.
What I'm looking for
As a linguist with over 7 years of experience, I possess native fluency in both English and Arabic. My journey in the field has been driven by a strong passion for language analysis and sociolinguistics, allowing me to unravel the complexities of various languages and their profound impact on human communication.
Currently, I work as an Arabic Linguist Consultant at Cerence, where I analyze AI model behavior, conduct content fact-checking, and implement spell-checking procedures. My role involves collaborating with the AI team to create task descriptions in both English and Arabic, overseeing annotator training, and providing ongoing supervision. I also support text normalization for Najdi and Hejazi Arabic, ensuring accurate representation of dialects.
Previously, I served as a Machine Learning Data Linguist at Amazon, where I translated documents and facilitated communication across language barriers. My experience also includes providing general Arabic linguistic services at Appen, where I delivered high-quality labeled data and maintained strict confidentiality. My diverse skill set in linguistics and language processing tools enables me to contribute effectively to any team.
