What I'm looking for

I’m looking for work where linguistic nuance, prosody, and high-accuracy audio evaluation drive better AI voice quality—paired with clear SOPs and feedback loops that let me use independent judgment on complex datasets.

I’m an analytical AI Content Evaluator and Professional Voice Artist with native-level proficiency in Swahili and high-level English (B2+). I specialize in the intersection of linguistic nuance and machine learning—where prosody and context matter for natural AI speech.

In my role as an “AI Linguistic Expert & Voice Professional (Freelance),” I execute high-priority RLHF and prompt-related assignments for global AI platforms. I curate audio datasets, independently evaluate multilingual clips, and annotate disfluencies and pronunciation/intonation details that standard transcription often misses.

I bring strong quality and compliance discipline, maintaining a 98%+ accuracy rate across 50+ specialized assignments. I also provide actionable audio-related feedback to technical teams to help AI systems handle diverse accents and noisy environments—while following strict data-handling protocols.

Earlier, I supported executive and administrative operations in corporate environments (2019–2021), where I managed compliance-driven workflows and maintained audit-ready records with strict confidentiality. Combined with my training in communication and CNA coursework, my approach is consistent: careful listening, precise labeling, and sound judgment on complex, ambiguous datasets.
