Newton Macharia
@newtonmacharia
I deliver multilingual medical interpretation, customer support, and AI training across remote, high-pressure environments.
What I'm looking for
I've delivered real-time Spanish, Swahili, and English medical interpretation for Hande Uye Communication and Globo, helping healthcare providers and patients communicate clearly, accurately, and confidentially.
At Grupo Noa International, Outsource Global, and CQ, I've resolved multilingual customer, technical, billing, and account issues across chat, email, and voice while meeting quality, response-time, and SLA expectations. I've used CRM systems to document interactions, troubleshoot escalations with technical teams, and improve customer satisfaction and retention.
As a freelance AI Trainer, I've designed, annotated, and validated datasets on platforms including Handshake AI and Silencio, using error analysis to support model improvement. I also bring experience facilitating student mental-health programs, teaching Spanish and German, and guiding Spanish-speaking visitors across Kenya.
