Oluseyi Idowu
@oluseyiidowu
Experienced Yoruba language specialist driving content, curriculum design, and AI language validation.
What I'm looking for
I am a pragmatic, optimistic, and detail-oriented language professional with over 10 years' experience managing content operations, instructional design, and language projects. I reinvent storytelling for businesses and education to align products and services with clear vision and mission.
I have led curriculum and instructional design initiatives, coordinated translation, transcription, and voice-over projects, and tutored Yoruba virtually and in hybrid settings. My work has supported measurable student achievement gains and produced successful referrals and partnerships across national and international stakeholders.
More recently I have validated and translated audio/text data for AI language models and trained generative models to improve writing quality. I am nimble in agile publishing cycles, comfortable meeting deadlines, and focused on leveraging language expertise to build practical, high-impact solutions.
