TanzaniaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an AI & software engineer and business operations professional who connects business requirements to technical implementation. I focus on backend/API support, onboarding workflows, MVP product structure, and AI language-data work like annotation and evaluation.
In my current Sales Operations / API Onboarding Support role at Selcom Tanzania, I coordinate between clients, sales, customer care, and technical teams to move onboarding steps forward. I collect requirements, document issues, maintain follow-up records, and bridge communication so services don’t stall between business leads and technical delivery. I also support operational readiness by clarifying client needs and improving service delivery through clear onboarding documentation and follow-up.
Alongside this, I freelance as a digital product builder—planning and designing MVPs for ecommerce, social commerce, sports analytics, and local-service platforms. I create product concepts with dashboard requirements, user flows, backend logic, and payment/API planning, and I support Swahili/English AI language work including annotation, LLM evaluation, translation review, prompt review, and language quality checks for training platforms. As a founder, I’ve led MVP planning for platforms like BizLink Africa, Kariakoo Kiganjani, Soka Data, and Dar Kiganjani, balancing user journeys, admin dashboards, and backend/data-structure needs.
I’m especially suited for remote roles that combine AI language-data tasks with backend/API support, technical documentation, and product coordination. With native Swahili and professional English, I’m ready to help teams ship practical MVPs and reliable operational workflows.
