@masyahsully
Native Swahili linguist specializing in localization and AI language quality.
What I'm looking for
I am a native Swahili speaker and linguist with hands-on experience translating, localizing, and editing Swahili content for digital platforms, and providing detailed feedback to improve machine-translated outputs. I have performed manual review of Swahili text and video content for grammatical accuracy and cultural relevance, and I specialize in Swahili noun classes, verb conjugation, tense markers, and distinguishing Standard Swahili from regional dialects.
I have applied my linguistic expertise to AI training work including RLHF, prompt engineering, and response evaluation, and I bring strong administrative skills—managing high-volume documentation, expert formatting, and organizing digital assets with attention to detail. I am committed to ensuring AI outputs are grammatically precise and culturally authentic while maintaining consistent tone across English and Swahili communications.
