What I'm looking for

I’m looking for AI training/evaluation work where I can act as a human expert: write structured, accurate outputs; apply prompt evaluation rubrics; and support Mercor/Alignerr tasks across business domains using evidence-based reasoning.

I’m a versatile program and operations professional with hands-on commercial experience in sales, marketing, and customer relationship management, applying it directly to AI model training, evaluation, and data annotation work.

Across Africa-wide program leadership, I’ve designed and implemented youth-focused initiatives, strengthened partnerships, and delivered structured evidence-based reporting through M&E / MEAL. I also produced proposal and impact documentation with a “quality-control mindset” aligned to evaluation rubrics.

In parallel, I scaled a Nairobi SME from $80K to $250K annual revenue (+213%), improving customer acquisition and retention through proactive CRM practices and end-to-end sales execution. I bring the same rigor—accuracy, clarity, reasoning quality, and real-world alignment—into AI output assessment.

As an active daily user of ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Perplexity, Grammarly, Canva AI, Otter.ai, and Zapier, I focus on structured feedback, prompt evaluation, and clear, multilingual training content (Native English, Fluent Swahili, French) for real business domains.
