AI Data Trainer and Swahili Language Specialist improving LLM quality through evaluation and annotation.
What I'm looking for
I’m an AI Data Trainer and Swahili Language Specialist with hands-on experience supporting AI platforms across LLM evaluation, prompt writing, data annotation, and audio transcription. I bring a rare linguistic combination as a Native Swahili speaker with professional English proficiency.
In my remote role with Outlier, I evaluate Swahili LLM responses for accuracy, fluency, and alignment with safety guidelines. I annotate datasets to support model training and iterative quality improvement, and I author and assess prompts to test and refine language model behavior.
I also work as a Swahili Audio Transcriber and Language Specialist with Alignerr. I produce accurate Swahili audio transcriptions for AI training data pipelines, then review and correct automated transcripts to ensure linguistic accuracy and consistency through quality assurance checks.
Alongside AI training work, I’ve built a foundation in online business management as a self-employed operator in Tanzania. I’ve also worked as an independent distributor and recruiter with Forever Living Products, handling day-to-day operations and team growth.
